About

Provided by Boontje Advocaten & Mediators

Boontje Advocaten & Mediators is a boutique law firm that focuses exclusively on employment law and has been established 21 years ago. Currently employing 22 lawyers, the firm is the biggest firm specialising in employment law in the Netherlands with many lawyers possessing over ten years’ experience in employment law. The choice for highly experienced professionals was consciously made, based on the experience that clients look for a sparring partner, who is able to share thoughts at the required level and can offer fitting impromptu solutions at any time.

Thanks to the seniority of its lawyers, Boontje Advocaten & Mediators is able to apply what is called the ‘Employment law Plus Formula.’ This formula means that each lawyer, in addition to his or her general knowledge of employment law, focuses on one or more specific areas, such as collective bargaining conditions, co-determination, working conditions, flexible labour, occupationally disabled employees, managing directors and special clauses in employment contracts. As a result, the firm has specific and readily available knowledge in house at any given time and can counsel its clients on employment law matters not only in a broad sense but offer them in-depth advice as well. In addition, Boontje Advocaten & Mediators offers mediation services by three of its employment lawyers who are also certified mediators.
