Corine has considerable experience in advising employers, pension funds, insurance companies, works councils and (former) participants in both civil and fiscal pension cases and adds value as a sparring partner for board members of pension funds and for HR and Finance professionals. In these cases, international aspects often play a role.

That doesn’t always have to be a legal procedure. She regularly solves disputes by negotiating or through a binding advisory procedure.
