Blom Veugelers Zuiderman Advocaten

What Blom Veugelers Zuiderman Advocaten does

Blom Veugelers Zuiderman Advocaten (BVZA) is a specialized Dutch law firm founded in December 2017 that operates exclusively in the field of pension law (pensioenrecht). The firm is structured as a cost partnership (kostenmaatschap) and is staffed by five partners, supported by a broader team reported in the 11-50 employee band. It operates from two physical offices: a headquarters in Nieuwegein (Utrecht region) and a second office in Vlaardingen (Rotterdam region), serving clients across the Netherlands.

BVZA's core services are organized around three pillars: litigation (Procederen), advisory (Adviseren), and mediation. The litigation practice covers pension disputes up to and including the Dutch Supreme Court (Hoge Raad); the advisory practice addresses scheme design, governance, buy-outs, and scheme modifications; and mediation covers alternative dispute resolution including binding advice and arbitration. Supporting service areas include industry pension fund scope disputes, scheme modification and interpretation, life events (death, departure, disability, divorce, retirement), pension due diligence for M&A transactions, and tailored in-house training. A significant current focus is advisory work related to the Wet toekomst pensioenen (Future Pensions Act), in force since 1 July 2023 with full transition required by 1 January 2028.

The firm serves six customer segments: employers, pension funds, insurers, works councils and accountability bodies, employees and retiree associations, and pension advisors/accountants/lawyers. Named clients include Rabobank, Ketjen Netherlands B.V., and an unnamed international shipping company. Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services billing, calculated as hours worked multiplied by an agreed hourly rate, with a 6% office cost surcharge, VAT added, and monthly invoicing on 14-day payment terms. The firm has no external investors, parent company, or funding rounds, and generates client flow through thought leadership, professional referrals, and its membership in the Ius Laboris international employment and benefits law alliance.
