Montse Rodríguez Escudero

Montse studied law at Erasmus University Rotterdam, and successfully completed the Postgraduate Course in Employment Law. She has also completed various mediation courses.

In 1996, Montse was sworn in and began her career as an attorney with a large international law firm before joining De Clercq in 2005.

‘I assist large and medium-sized companies, directors and works councils with a variety of matters such as restructuring, reorganisation, outsourcing, transfers of undertaking and collective labour agreement issues. I also advise works councils and directors on employment participation relations in both national and international corporations. In addition to this, I deal with individual and collective dismissal processes, and sick employees. I regularly give courses and workshops in employment law and employment participation law to works councils and HR managers. I also serve as a mediator in employment law matters, and in cases between members of works councils and/or between works councils and their director. Furthermore, I train mediators on the employment law aspects of mediation at the Centre for Conflict Management in Haarlem.’
