Healthcare

The set-up and governance of a healthcare institution requires tailoring. We have experience in dealing with the specific rules that apply in the healthcare sector. License obligation, profit-making, structure and supervisory functions are important topics. The balance of power and control should take into account special stakeholder groups such as patients, healthcare professionals, health insurers and regulators. We also advise on the relevant points of attention in relation to real estate in the healthcare sector.

Purpose-driven governance

Many companies strive to become purpose-driven, sustainable and focused on long-term value creation. Embedding these concepts in the corporate structure and constitutional documents can be a valuable addition to the Dutch stakeholder model. Some companies go above and beyond and opt for a new, alternative governance and profitsharing model: steward ownership. We are involved in designing the corporate structures that go with these trends and know which points require attention.

Privacy enhancing structures

Succesful entrepreneurs not always have the need to draw attention to their wealth. This may be for safety reasons, or to be able to raise their children in a normal way. At a time where there is a tendency for transparency and a lot is known about anyone, we help entrepreneurs to limit the visibility of their wealth to the public as much as possible, within the limits of the rules. By advising structures that suit the client and also work in practice.

Family charter

Arrangements such as articles of association and shareholder agreements define the legal structure of a business. But when dealing with a family business or other assets of substantial value to a family, things like shared values and principles, as well as anticipation of conflicts of interests are at least as important. These can be discussed by a family and set forth in a family charter: a moral compass against which all kinds of scenarios can be tested in the future.
