Pact advocaten specialise in employment law. Our lawyers have thorough knowledge and extensive experience in the field of individual employment law, collective labour law and public employment law. We provide legal advice to employers, directors and employees, both in national and international employment relations. We also advise employers, works councils and trade unions on mergers and take-over purchases (transfer of undertaking), among other things.
Our services related to employment law include advice, strategic planning, negotiating, contracting and litigation. As to individual employment issues, we help with employment contracts (advice and preparation) and independent contractor agreements (for self-employed persons or other flexible employment relationships), staff regulations or specific employment contracts. We also provide legal advice in cases of incapacity for work, changes to employment conditions in the interim, signing and complying with non-competition clauses, non-solicitation clauses and dismissal issues. We have specialist knowledge of and experience with remuneration matters (corporate governance; Wbfo; WNT) and appointment and dismissal schedules for directors, both for listed companies and small and medium-sized enterprises.
We help entrepreneurs with public employment law issues when government intervenes, such as the Working Conditions Act, the Foreign Nationals Employment Act, the Standards for Top Incomes in the (semi)public sector Act (WNT) and issues relating to entitlement to social security benefits. In collective labour law, we assist with issues such as collective agreements, co-determination/works council, reorganisation (restructuring) and compliance issues.
