Prof. Hans van Meerten

Professor Hans van Meerten is a specialist in the field of pension law, financial law and EU law.

He assists employees, self-employed persons, employers, pensioners, works councils, pension funds and asset managers. Nationally and internationally. Hans always assesses how Dutch regulations relate to the underlying EU law. Many legal issues have a European law background. Hans has regularly successfully argued that Dutch regulations should give way to European law provisions.

Hans frequently gives presentations and lectures at home and abroad on the above-mentioned areas of law. Current subjects he highlights are the Dutch pension agreement and European pension regulations (PEPP, IORP and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights).

In addition, Hans is a part-time professor of pension law at Utrecht University and supervises several assistants in training.
