About held law
held law is a law firm that was started by three partners with established reputations in pension law and years of experience with some of the top law firms on the Zuidas (South Axis) in Amsterdam. We have an outstanding track record and hold leading positions in professional organisations and academia. We are a compact firm with a personal and involved team. We are honest with ourselves and our clients: honest about what we can and cannot do and honest about what is feasible and what has no chance of success. This translates into practical advice, backed up by an opinion, and proceedings with a concrete target: the best result for our client.
Advice
For us, providing advice involves giving an expert opinion and direction on a legal issue, not a summary of risks and opportunities followed by a disclaimer. We are always creative and always thinking outside the box when it comes to pensions. We do this in the knowledge that pensions are just part of something much bigger. We don’t get ourselves bogged down in jargon and conventions, but use clear language.
Litigation
For us, litigation is a resource for the client and not an end in itself. Good and efficient litigation is an art and we are masters of it. Litigation is about strategy and convincing intelligent and well-read judges. It tends to run best with a convincing, clear and compact narrative. When we litigate, it is therefore efficient and to the point. Better one page less than one line too many.
Takeovers
Pension law on takeovers is a prime area where our experience and expertise are needed for providing sound advice. We can see where the risks and opportunities lie – and where there are none – better and faster than anyone. We have seen and resolved every imaginable takeover complication under pension law during our years of experience at top offices in Amsterdam’s South Axis.
