Common Dismissal Situations We Handle

Economic Redundancy

Your employer may claim that your dismissal is necessary for business reasons. This often involves a UWV procedure or an offer to settle. We make sure your rights are respected and that any offer is fair.

Reorganization or Restructuring

Companies in the Netherlands must follow strict rules when reorganizing. We ensure they follow proper procedures and you receive what you're entitled to.

Settlement Agreements

Employers frequently offer a termination agreement to avoid formal procedures. Never sign one without legal advice. We assess and negotiate better terms for you.

Being ill, or dysfunctioning

Does your employer want to dismiss you because you're ill, burned out, or allegedly not performing well? Contact us immediately!
