Subsidy Law

Lawyers specialising in subsidy law

Nysingh’s lawyers specialising in subsidy law have in-depth knowledge of the legal standards that must be met before a subsidy can be provided. They are up to date with the latest developments and have extensive experience in subsidy-related matters. We are familiar with the interests of both subsidy providers and subsidy recipients, and we understand the legal and financial implications of the choices made within subsidy arrangements.

We advise public authorities, businesses and organisations in the healthcare and education sectors. In doing so, we look beyond the subsidy rules themselves. By taking into account the interrelationships with related areas of law, we ensure that our advice is comprehensive as well as practical.

Our approach

When it comes to issues relating to subsidy law, timing is crucial. We therefore prefer to advise you early in the process, for example when drawing up a subsidy scheme or when drafting conditions. This will prevent any risks and discussions further down the line.

Should a difference of opinion arise, for example about the granting, determination or recovery of a subsidy, then we will first try to find an amicable solution through consultation. We understand the administrative dynamics and the importance of a workable solution.

If legal proceedings are required, we will assist you in objection, appeal and higher appeal proceedings.

What we will do for you

We will support you through every stage of the subsidy process, from policy-making to dispute resolution. Examples include:

• Drafting and reviewing subsidy schemes and regulations;
• Structuring subsidy decisions and conditions;
• The allocation of scarce subsidies and the application of the principles of equality and transparency;
• Assessing compliance with European state aid rules;
• Assistance with the granting and determination of subsidies;
• Amendments, extensions, and termination of subsidies;
• Recovery of subsidy amounts;
• Proceedings concerning subsidy matters.

Through close collaboration between specialists in various fields of law, such as administrative law, procurement law, and state aid law, we offer solutions that align with your organization’s day-to-day practice.

Our clients

We work for organizations dealing with subsidies and their associated legal challenges. These include:

• Governments and (semi-)public institutions
• Businesses
• Healthcare and educational institutions

Within these sectors, we see that regulations are increasing and issues are becoming more complex. Organizations need a legal partner who not only advises, but also provides practical insights for daily subsidy management.

Subsidy law in context

Subsidy law requires an integrated approach. In practice, various legal frameworks converge, influencing and reinforcing one another. While this makes subsidy matters complex, it also creates opportunities for strategic choices.

Within Nysingh, our specialists therefore collaborate closely. Through this synergy, we bridge the gap between legal substance and administrative and financial reality. This results in solutions that are not only legally sound, but also workable and future-proof.

Subsidies and scarce rights

The principle of equality plays an increasingly important role in the allocation of subsidies. When resources are limited, authorities must determine who qualifies in a transparent and objective manner.

We advise on the structure of allocation procedures, selection criteria, and the application of the principle of transparency. In doing so, we account for current case law and practical feasibility.
