Pavan Geraedts | PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE IN AMERSFOORT
Fiscal advice, juridical advice
and business mediation.
Pavan Geraedts is a boutique professional practice for companies, entrepreneurs, directors and shareholders.
From our office in Amersfoort, we provide direct, considered advice on the fiscal, juridical and organisational matters that shape a company and its decisions.
Some questions are precise: a tax position, a contract, terms and conditions, a company decision or a business relationship requiring neutral mediation. Others involve several parts of the company at once. We determine what belongs to the matter, explain the consequences and help put the decision into effect.
Our work is rooted in the Dutch business context. Fourteen years of experience with international business and cross-border matters adds depth where it is relevant, without changing the personal and local character of the practice.
You can come to Pavan Geraedts for:
- Fiscal advice, tax returns, administrative obligations and correspondence with the Belastingdienst.
- Contracts, terms and conditions, commercial obligations and juridical interpretation.
- Company structures, shareholder and board matters, decision rights and delegated authorities.
- Neutral business mediation between shareholders, directors, business partners or commercial parties.
- GDPR, data governance, AI regulation, intellectual property, copyright, trademarks and image rights.
- Due diligence, transactions, investment, mergers, acquisitions and other forms of corporate change.
THE PRACTICE
Three disciplines, brought together around one company.
A company does not experience tax, contracts, governance and business relationships as separate departments. One decision can create consequences across all of them.
Pavan Geraedts combines fiscal advice, juridical advice and business mediation within one practice. This gives clients one place in which the immediate question can be considered together with the company structure, the people involved, the obligations already accepted and the decision that must follow.
The work remains proportionate to the mandate. A focused question receives a focused answer. A connected matter receives a wider reading where that is necessary.
Fiscal Advice
Advice on Dutch taxation, fiscal positions, returns, VAT, corporate tax, employer obligations, director and shareholder matters, correspondence, objections and the fiscal consequences of business decisions.
Juridical Advice
and Contracts
Drafting, review and interpretation of contracts, terms and conditions, commercial obligations, corporate documentation, authorities, ownership arrangements and the legal structure of business relationships.
Business Mediation
Independent and neutral support for business parties who wish to clarify interests, restore workable communication and reach their own informed agreements.
Company Structure and Governance
Company formation, shareholder and board documentation, decision rights, delegated authorities, policies, registers, responsibilities and governance arrangements that correspond with the way the company operates.
Digital, Data & IP
GDPR, data governance, AI and digital regulation, intellectual-property agreements, copyright, licensing, trademarks, brand use, image rights, portrait rights and website or platform terms.
Transactions & Business Change
Due diligence, investment, mergers, acquisitions, ownership changes, reorganisations and the fiscal, juridical and governance work needed to support implementation.
WHAT WE CONNECT
One company, viewed as a whole.
Good professional advice must be correct within its own discipline. It must also remain workable when it meets the rest of the company.
A tax decision should agree with the contracts and the administration. A governance document should reflect the authority people actually exercise. A privacy policy should correspond with the systems, suppliers and daily handling of information. An agreement reached through mediation should be capable of clear implementation.
Pavan Geraedts connects these elements without making every mandate larger than it needs to be.
Fiscal Position and Administration
Whether the filings, records, calculations, transactions and company structure support the fiscal position being taken.
Rights and Obligations
Whether contracts, terms, policies and legal requirements clearly describe what each party may expect, decide and deliver.
Decisions and Responsibility
Whether authority is properly allocated, decisions are documented and directors, shareholders and delegated professionals understand their responsibilities.
Implementation and Evidence
Whether advice has been translated into documents, actions, controls and records that can be understood and demonstrated when required.
WHY Pavan Geraedts
Professional depth without distance.
Pavan Geraedts is deliberately close to the matters entrusted to it. Clients know who is responsible for the work and can speak directly with the adviser who understands the file.
Linda and Paolo bring different professional disciplines to the same table. Their work is not combined for appearance. It is combined because fiscal choices, juridical obligations, business relationships and company decisions often influence one another in practice.
This allows advice to remain technically grounded while also considering timing, implementation, responsibility and the human reality of running a company.
When a matter requires expertise or authority reserved to an advocate, civil-law notary, patent attorney, statutory auditor, accredited certification body or another regulated professional, Pavan Geraedts helps define the question and coordinate the appropriate independent specialist. Professional roles remain clear throughout the mandate.
How discipline supports the advice
Clear records, decision rights and professional discipline support the way we advise. They help connect decisions, duties, risks and evidence over time.
This is where the Pavan Geraedts way of working belongs. It is not a single document or an indiscriminate folder. It is the coherent company record created when fiscal positions, agreements, decisions, responsibilities, controls and evidence can be traced back to the same facts.
Different stakeholders may legitimately require different information. A director, shareholder, bank, insurer, auditor, regulator or commercial counterparty should nevertheless encounter a company whose essential facts remain consistent.
We approach professional not only as an obligation, but as a way for responsible companies to understand what they have decided, who is accountable and whether daily practice still corresponds with the documents.
HOW THE WORK STARTS
A clear mandate,
handled in a clear sequence.
1. First Conversation
You explain the company, the question, the people involved and the decision or responsibility requiring attention. You do not need to select the professional category before contacting us.
2. Scope and Information
We determine what must be understood, which documents or records are relevant and whether the matter is fiscal, juridical, relational or connected across several disciplines. The proposed scope, responsibilities and terms of the mandate are made clear.
3. Advice, Documentation or Mediation
The work proceeds through analysis, advice, calculations, drafting, review, correspondence, meetings or a structured mediation process, depending on the agreed mandate. An on-site assessment may be included where the actual operation of the company is relevant.
4. Decision and Implementation
We explain the conclusions and help translate them into the required decisions, documents, filings, agreements, controls or follow-up actions. Where continued review is useful, the appropriate rhythm is agreed with the client.
WHEN TO CONTACT Pavan Geraedts
Professional advice
is part of ordinary business.
You do not need an exceptional event to speak with us. Many mandates begin with a normal company decision, a document that must be prepared properly, a tax question, a relationship that deserves careful attention or a wish to bring greater coherence to the company.
Running the Company
Fiscal obligations, contracts, terms and conditions, shareholder or board records, privacy, employment-related documentation, authorities, policies and recurring company decisions.
Making a Decision
A new agreement, investment, financing, company structure, collaboration, technology, transaction, appointment or change in ownership requires considered fiscal and juridical advice.
Aligning People
and Interests
Shareholders, directors, partners or commercial parties wish to clarify expectations, responsibilities or future arrangements with the support of an independent business mediator.

MISSION AND VISION
Advice that can be understood, used and maintained.
Our mission is to provide fiscal advice, juridical advice and business mediation that help people make informed company decisions. We connect professional analysis with the documents, actions and responsibilities required to put that decision into practice. Where several disciplines meet, we preserve coherence without losing clarity about who is responsible for what.
A company should remain recognisable in every serious conversation.
A director, shareholder, employee, bank, insurer, auditor, regulator or commercial partner will approach the company with a different question. The answers do not need to be identical, but they should come from the same reliable facts. We believe sound companies are built when fiscal positions, agreements, authority, behaviour and evidence support one another. This is the practical purpose of integrated advice and the deeper meaning of careful professional practice.
One practice, with the right professional around the table.
Pavan Geraedts provides fiscal advice, juridical advice, business mediation and related professional support within the professional scope of the practice. Some matters also require an advocate, civil-law notary, patent attorney, statutory auditor, accredited certification body or specialist adviser in another jurisdiction. Where this is necessary, we help define the assignment and coordinate with the appropriate independent professional. The client receives a coherent direction while every professional remains responsible for their own regulated role, independence and work.
