About held law

We are Mark Heemskerk, Maarten Minnaard and Teun Huijg, founders of held.

The name held is short but powerful. That is exactly what we want to exude. We are not modest. While it is possible to find good and experienced lawyers like us, there is no law firm in the Netherlands that can match our knowledge of pension law, which we offer at a price that some firms on the Zuidas would charge for work done by interns.

Pension law has the reputation of being boring and difficult, but we believe otherwise. We won’t make pension law any more difficult than it is. We help our clients with clear advice and efficient litigation. When acquisitions are involved, we identify real risks and not trivial matters. Above all, we help our clients by being honest, transparent and accessible. Always.
