We can assist you in all disputes arising in the Healthcare and Life Sciences sectors, both in civil law proceedings and administrative law proceedings, as well as in proceeding before other dispute resolution and arbitration forums or professional standards bodies.
We assist several large health insurers and long term care insurers in disputes in relation to the financing of healthcare treatments, combatting healthcare fraud, and the performance of contracts in the healthcare sector. We have much experience challenging decisions by governmental regulatory oversight bodies such as the Netherlands Healthcare Authority, the Dutch Data Protection Authority and the Netherlands Healthcare Institute.
In addition, we act as lawyers in civil law cases concerning medicines, for example with regard to licensing agreements. In this context, we act for (large) pharmaceutical companies, among others.
The many different rules and regulations that apply in the Healthcare and Life Sciences sectors require the professional and specialised knowledge that is the core of our approach in litigation matters in these sectors.
We have assisted several large health insurers in civil law proceedings, both on the merits and in emergency relief proceedings, relating to the reimbursement of expensive medicinal products, cosmetic surgery for transgender persons, and non-contracted healthcare. We have litigated a multi-million euro claim relating to the reimbursement of laboratory research.
We have assisted several health insurers and long term care insurers in administrative law proceedings, both on the merits and in emergency relief proceedings, relating to governmental financial and enforcement decisions on data protections issues, the reimbursement of expensive medicinal products, and good contracting practices in the healthcare sector.
On behalf of Dutch health insurers, we prevented a healthcare tariff increase of EUR 500 million in various administrative proceedings.
