Our team works for a wide variety of clients ranging from national and international commercial companies to healthcare institutions, and from museums and orchestras to government and educational institutions. For many of them, we have been their preferred legal counsel for years.

Our approach can best be described as client-centred, pragmatic, and result-oriented. We believe that clear communication, commitment and accessibility are essential in this. By coming to a thorough understanding of the nature of your organisation, we ensure that you receive the services that best suit your needs. And we approach employment law from an HR perspective in order to find out what you need specifically in order to take rapid action. For this reason, we appreciate being included in the process as early as possible, particularly where complex processes such as mergers and reorganisations are concerned.

Our lawyers are renowned for their personal approach and keen perception of human relationships and underlying interests. We make every effort to reach a sustainable solution that suits your situation. If this is not immediately achievable, then employment law provides numerous legal and other procedures that can assist. We have extensive litigation experience in the subdistrict courts, courts of appeal and the Employee Insurance Agency (Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen, UWV). We can defend your interests to the highest standard in matters such as dissolution of employment contracts, termination, wage claims and employer liability. Our thorough preparation is critical to this, ensuring that we are intimately acquainted with every aspect of your case.
