Health Care & Welfare Services

After decades without any serious market dynamics, the healthcare & welfare sector is now changing considerably, driven by the choice for cost containment and privatisation. The search for the limits of healthcare quality, the available budgets and availability of enthusiastic, qualified staff seems to stabilise. This process of change towards market-driven thought and action creates both opportunities and threats, with new providers of healthcare services emerging and creating unexpected developments. Major mergers in the healthcare industry are necessary to strengthen market positions and increase economies of scale and professionalism.

The welfare sector shows dramatic developments: consuming welfare has become common practice, large chains of wellness, sports and fitness centres are being established and the investment volume is rising.
Marxman Advocaten has been involved in several healthcare institutions and organisations from the very beginning. Initially, our services focused in particular on assistance in the fields of labour law, finance, the law of contracts and patient and disciplinary law. In recent years, we have seen greater demand for advice on mergers and acquisitions, tendering procedures, competition and business law.

Our Sports & Law division regularly turns to our expertise with regard to the operation of sports facilities and organisation of events.
