Employment law has to do with people

EMPLOYMENT LAW

Employees and employers can be confronted with all kinds of issues. Perhaps a reorganisation has been announced and there are questions about the implications. Another issue is summary dismissals. A non-solicitation clause may have been agreed but there may be questions about whether it is legally valid and whether a penalty is due. In the case of reintegration after a period of illness, information may be required about which rights and obligations apply for all the parties involved. These are just a few examples of the issues that might be raised. In short, legal assistance in terms of employment law is sometimes unavoidable for employees and employers alike.

Amstel Advocaten can support all the parties involved, such as employers, employees, human resources consultants and entrepreneurs with questions about employment law. The lawyers of Amstel Advocaten have experience with the following:

employment contracts
summary dismissals
termination of employment in the event of unsatisfactory performance
termination in the event of illness or due to business economic circumstances (Netherlands Employees Insurance Agency [UWV Werkbedrijf])
negotiations and settlement agreements
non-competition and non-solicitation clauses
reintegration
takeovers and successive employers
attachments of salary
wage claims
secondment (agreements)
transition allowances and fair compensation

This is just a small selection from a large number of employment law issues which we are perfectly able to help you with. We are aware of the emotions that such procedures can evoke. In our experience, employees and employers benefit more from an amicable settlement than from legal proceedings that can be expensive and stressful. Therefore, it is often preferable to resolve employment law conflicts on the basis of sound consultation.

However, if the parties are diametrically opposed, Amstel Advocaten would be more than happy to conduct legal proceedings in order to get the desired result.
