Health Law

Our law firm advises health professionals, companies and institutions on all aspects of health law, including professional regulations, liability cases, disciplinary law, unfair competition and contest. We also have vast experience in drawing up various agreements that are important in health care. Our office has an added value, because of its understanding of the market and the applicable laws and regulations.

We also assist individuals who meet with health law, for example in disciplinary law or personal injury cases, BIG-registration, professional recognition (CIBG) or disputes with the insurer.

For questions in the field of health law, please contact Niels van Steijn.
