Health Law

At Holla legal & tax we are at home in health care. We have many years of experience, and we speak the language of the health sector.

Our team of healthcare specialists advises and litigates on health specific law issues. We are experienced litigators and have conducted procedures with different courts of law, the Healthcare Arbitration Tribunal, arbitration committees and sectoral complaints and disputes bodies. Besides that, we regularly assist with audits by healthcare insurers and supervision by external supervisory bodies, such as the Health and Youth Inspectorate (IGJ), the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa), the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) and the Data Protection Authority (AP). We also assist clients in mediation processes.

We are active in care and cure, including medical-specialist care, primary care, mental healthcare, nursing homes, care for the disabled, ambulance care, social support and youth care.
