Dismissal
Of course you like to keep your employees within your company, but sometimes it can be good or even necessary to say goodbye to each other. In that case it is wise to make use of an employment lawyer. The employment lawyers of LVH Advocaten can assist you in all aspects of dismissing employees.
Industrial dispute or reorganisation?
If, for example, there is a difference of opinion or an industrial dispute, this usually leads to tensions and irritations and you want to quickly realize the dismissal of the employee, in order to restore peace in your company.
In the event of job losses, you want to switch quickly in order to save costs, remain competitive and ensure continuity. In this way you go from a financially insecure to a cost efficient and competitive situation.
No negative energy but a smooth and professional settlement
A long-term dismissal situation costs negative energy and (if only) that is why a dismissal must be handled smoothly and professionally. The quickest way to bring about a termination of employment is by making an arrangement in mutual consultation with the employee. This often succeeds, sometimes not. In the latter case, a dismissal procedure must be conducted at the UWV or at the subdistrict court.
Whichever option is chosen, all relevant facts and circumstances must first be brought to light and then a course of action must be set with conviction aimed at a smooth and professional settlement. An employment lawyer from LVH Advocaten can assist you in determining this course of action for an optimal result.
Resignation by the employee
Of course, it may also be the case that an employee himself resigns by terminating the employment contract. This raises questions about the applicability of competition and relationship clauses and intellectual property issues. Clear agreements on these matters are important to protect your business flow. Our employment lawyers specialise in dismissal law and can determine important points of attention in this respect and organise the appropriate protection for you.

Important changes in Dutch employment law in 2020
From the 1st of January 2020 a number of changes in Dutch employment law will come into force. These changes will bring new attractive benefits as well as new risks that need be taken into account by both employers and employees.
Liability for acting on behalf of a private company in formation
Legal acts can already be performed on behalf of a private limited company in incorporation. However, caution is required, because the person who has performed the acts on behalf of the B.V. under formation may be personally called upon to fulfil the obligations entered into.
When can a buyer of a property address the seller for a hidden defect?
When you buy an (old) house, you buy it in the condition it is then in. This means including all visible and invisible defects. If it turns out that there is a defect after the purchase, this is in principle at the buyer's risk. This sounds logical. Nevertheless, there are conceivable situations in which the buyer can hold the seller liable for the costs of repairing the defect. In this article I explain when this can be the case.
