Employment Law
When it comes to employment law, we assist employers as well as employees. We may provide you with legal assistance in cases involving restructuring, dismissal due to unsatisfactory job performance or due to the employment relationship turned sour or, for instance, in drafting employment contracts or bringing employment contracts up to date.
The fact that we practice employment law seen from the perspective of the employee as well as from the perspective of the employer enables us to appreciate both sides of the argument.
In particular, we represent employees of banking institutions and IT companies. We have considerable experience in negotiating termination agreements, dispute settlement via mediation, and in employment-law litigation.
The concept of employment law is in constant motion when it comes to the distinction between employment contracts and independent-contractor agreements. In this regard, too, you may count on our expertise.
Workplace conflicts
We provide legal advice to employers as well as employees with regard to workplace conflicts. This may refer to cases where the job performance of an employee is unsatisfactory. We have built up extensive experience in resolving workplace conflicts, in providing legal assistance to employers and/or employees during labour mediation, and in workplace-conflict litigation.
Incapacity for Work
We assist employers as well as employees in cases involving incapacity for work.
Employment contracts
We will fine-tune your employment contract, depending on the specific requirements applicable in your line of business. We may adjust your model agreements to bring them up to date.
Severance Pay
If you are laid off, it is important to properly take care of all kinds of issues, such as a suitable severance pay, release from a non-competition clause, a positive reference letter, et cetera. We have ample experience in negotiating redundancy schemes between employers and employees.
Restructuring
If the circumstances of your company so require, we may provide legal assistance in getting the legal aspects of a restructuring done. We have vast experience in litigation before the UWV Employee Insurance Agency.
Independent contractors
A common theme in employment law is the dividing line between an employment contract and a professional services agreement (independent-contractor agreement). We may provide you with legal advice in choosing the legal structure that fits you best. We have extensive experience in litigation on this subject matter.
