The Employment Team
Our team of lawyers and legal assistants are at home in employment law for business, healthcare, government and education. Some issues are generic, others are very specific to a single sector. All of our employment lawyers are familiar with one or two sectors, so there is always a sectorspecialist available to help you think through the issue.
Employment law is not limited to the borders of the Netherlands. Whether it is cross border reorganization, an employee living in a neighboring country or a matter of drafting contracts for expatriates, our employment lawyers know the ins and outs. We have specialist knowledge and experience and are fluent in English. In addition to companies and public and semi-public organizations, we assist individual directors (under the articles of association), supervisory boards and employee participation bodies.

Practical solutions
No long-winded advice, but practical and real solutions to suit your case. For example, discussions with you about the step-by-step plans for ‘Dysfunctional Employees’, ‘Sick Employees’ and ‘Immediate Dismissal’ will inform you in advance about the steps to be taken and in what order, about your role as an HRM consultant and about what a manager must and must not do to achieve a sustainable dismissal. In these discussions, we will always explore alternative routes with you. Your goal can often be achieved in more than one way. Discussing with you the process, the alternatives and anticipating, for example, the reaction and commitment of the other party, will enable you to anticipate situations and maintain control of the process.
We are happy to work with your HRM staff and in-house lawyers, as well as our colleagues in other jurisdictions. By working together we can achieve the best solution for you and make the most effective use of our own knowledge and experience. We also like to know what is happening on your side.
Policies and regulations
In addition to advice and litigation, we can help you draft general policies. For example, a code of conduct, an integrity policy, a data protection code and rules for the board of directors, the supervisory board or the works council. If the rules within your organization are clear in advance, enforcement will be much easier. For example, if a strict zero-tolerance policy is in place, (summary) dismissal is more likely to be justified. Clear rules and procedures can also help prevent and limit disputes.
Mediation as a solution
We believe that some disputes do not benefit from litigation. On the contrary, employment disputes are well suited to resolution under the guidance of a mediator. The employer and the employee enter into a confidential dialogue. They can discuss their different points of view and seek solutions to the dispute under the guidance of an independent mediator. Two of our employment lawyers are also MfN registered mediators.
