Our Services
For Employers

  • It can be complex for (international) employers to understand the impact of mergers, acquisitions, or restructurings on employment conditions, including pensions, within the 'new' organization. Arbeidsadvocaat.nl can provide support in this area, for example, with due diligence investigations. Arbeidsadvocaat.nl also addresses issues such as the legal position of directors and senior management (including dismissal), remuneration and reward frameworks, employee participation, co-determination, and dealings with external stakeholders.

  • If your business is active internationally, ExpatLawyer can assist with cross-border employment law issues, such as:

    • Secondment and expatriates

    • Cross-border workers

    • International employment contracts

    • European and international regulations

    • European pension law

  • Pension law is a unique aspect of empoyment law. In addition to the employer and employee, a third party is involved: the pension provider (pension fund or pension insurer). This means that employers need to consider the interests of all parties involved. ExpatLawyer advises, among other things, on the possibilities offered by a pension scheme, but also on the possibilities to limit pension obligations.

  • ExpatLawyer can advise you on compliance in employment relationships, such as:

    • Drafting and implementing privacy policies

    • Data protection and the GDPR

    • Camera surveillance and other monitoring tools in the workplace

    • Whistleblower schemes

    • Sanction policies
