Contracts and terms of employment

Good agreements regarding the employment relationship are essential. Not everything can be freely determined, for example, when a collective labour agreement is in place. We will work with you to find a suitable interpretation of the terms of employment package and record this clearly. At the start or if changes require it. Both on an individual and a collective level. No unnecessarily difficult legal language, but understandable for everyone and tailored to your needs.


Legal and practical

The clear recording of agreements is essential for the deployment of employees. This starts with the basic agreements in an employment contract. Sometimes recording collective terms of employment is also effective. We advise you on the establishment of these contracts and regulations and draw them up for you. Of course, we can also check existing contracts and regulations for compliance with legislation and regulations. In all this we look for the balance between legally sound and practically applicable.


Sometimes the playing field is governed by a collective labour agreement. Within your own company or the industry. We advise on all legal facets related to collective labour agreements. Consider the formation, applicability, explanation and compliance of a collective labour agreement.

Of course we do more than just give advice. We handle all disputes in the field of employment contracts, regulations and (collective) terms of employment. We will litigate where necessary.


What we do

  • We assess within which legal playing field the terms of employment must be determined. Can everything be freely agreed, or is there, for example, a collective labour agreement in place?

  • We advise and litigate on the application and interpretation of collective labour agreements, also when your business activities change.

  • We draw up employment contracts and terms of employment regulations. We do this in 'classic' and 'popular' style. And of course always in clear language and tailored to your employees.

  • We assess existing employment contracts and regulations and determine whether they are in accordance with legislation and regulations.

  • We know how to legally protect your business interests. For example, we determine the correct recording of noncompetition and non-solicitation clauses, non-recruitment clauses, confidentiality clauses and other protective clauses. Where necessary, we legally enforce compliance.

  • We advise you on the (im)possibilities of changing existing terms of employment (unilaterally) and determine how to achieve the desired result as pragmatically as possible.

  • We advise on harmonisation of terms of employment, for example in the situation where two companies have merged.

  • We draw up bonus and profit schemes tailored to your organisation.

  • We advise on other forms of employee participation. Consider, for example, shares, options, certificates and SAR rights. We offer everything necessary to properly record and implement this.
