Subsidies and Grants

We know the subsidy landscape inside out. Our team has hands-on experience advising life sciences companies on the legal aspects of publicly funded innovation, from the Dutch and EU subsidy frameworks to the state aid rules that underpin them. That practical knowledge allows us to help you secure funding effectively and stay compliant for the full duration of your project.

We cover the full lifecycle of publicly funded projects. At the application stage, we help you assess eligibility, structure consortium arrangements, and draft or review grant agreements and cooperation contracts. During the project, we advise on compliance with subsidy conditions, managing the contractual framework for R&D collaborations and resolving IP questions between consortium partners. We also help you determine whether a funding arrangement qualifies as state aid and, if so, how to structure it within the applicable exemptions and notification requirements. When audits, repayment claims, or disputes with funding bodies arise, we step in to protect your position.
