ENTERPRISE AND BUSINESS
If you take good care of your business, you can do business without worries.
CONFLICTS
A mistake is quickly made and a misunderstanding or miscommunication can happen to the best of us. Often such a thing is quickly resolved or talked out, but sometimes a conflict arises.
EMPLOYEES
A proactive application of the rules of labour law has a positive effect on the result of your company.
GOVERNMENT
For entrepreneurs, the government is an important party. In your business operations you have to deal with laws, regulations and government decisions, both at the national and local level, often with complex content. The relationship with the government has its pitfalls and obstacles.
COMPANIES IN FINANCIAL DISTRESS
If a company is in financial distress it is difficult for all parties involved. The entrepreneur has to decide (over and over again) whether or not to continue the business and which creditors may or may not be paid.
INTERNATIONAL
International trade and doing business internationally is no longer reserved for large multinationals. International transactions are also commonplace in (large) SME’s.
REAL ESTATE
The better you know how to arrange this “at the front end”, the more the intended goal will be achieved.

Please note that terminating an Agency Agreement may be done through the Cantonal Courts or by taking extra-judicial steps as set out in article 6:265 of the DCC. The EC directive (86/653/EEG) is implemented in the Netherlands in articles 7:428 to 7:455 of the Dutch Civil Code (“DCC”), which is mostly compulsory law, which means that deviation by agreement is generally not possible and that these provisions are overriding. This article will only address the situation where the Principal terminates or rescinds the Agency Agreement. My next article will address the situation of the Agent.
The shareholders’ agreement: what if agreements are not kept?
In my previous contributions "A shareholder agreement to make your startup investor-proof" and "The shareholder agreement: some practical tips" I already wrote about the usefulness and necessity of the shareholder agreement. In order to avoid conflicts with, for example, future investors, it is wise to make good agreements about the cooperation. Not only agreements about the positive aspects of the cooperation, but above all agreements about what should happen if the cooperation does not go as expected.
