Enterprise and business

If you take good care of your business, you can do business without worries.

Doing business means making appointments. Lots of appointments. With partners, staff, suppliers, customers, the government, etc. Good contracts are therefore a necessary part of a healthy business economy. Whether it concerns “internal” contracts, such as shareholder agreements and employment agreements, or “external” contracts, such as takeover and cooperation agreements. (Advice on) a good contract in which clear rules of play are laid down, makes it possible for the company to focus on the development of the company.

A good contract is clear as a tightly organised march route: who participates and under what conditions, what is the destination, what input is needed to achieve the goal, who makes the decisions, what happens if things go wrong along the way, who can intervene and what sanctions can be imposed.

Organising such a march route is a profession. Our profession.

Client reviews

We have had very good experiences with LVH Advocaten for several years. The firm is characterised by a down-to-earth Rotterdam work mentality combined with excellent business knowledge. In our last cooperation, Mr. R.C. Steenhoek assisted us as an advisor during the settlement of a bankruptcy. Due to his extensive experience as a trustee, Mr. Steenhoek is very knowledgeable in these matters. He is very approachable, knows how to point out important details, thinks many steps ahead and comes up with a clear plan of action. During the settlement of the bankruptcy case with the receiver, Mr. Steenhoek represented us excellently. We are very satisfied with the result achieved and are convinced that without his expertise we would not have been able to handle the case in this way.

P.E. van Erk

In 2019 and 2020, we approached LVH Lawyers for advice on how to end the case in a careful and competent manner. This was resolved in a completely practical manner and within a very short period of time. He always had his full attention for my story. It was settled very neatly. The cooperation was perfect!

I would like to thank Mr Rob Steenhoek for this.

If the municipality has determined that you are violating a rule, it may decide to take enforcement action. The purpose of this is to ensure that the rules are followed and the violation is remedied.

New rules on wage transparency

Richard Ouwerling2025-12-15T11:34:14+01:0015 December 2025|

The EU Pay Transparency Directive and the pay gap in the Netherlands are creating new obligations for employers. The core of the directive is that employers must be more transparent about their remuneration structures and must be able to justify pay differences. The most important change is that the burden of proof is shifting. From now on, employers must demonstrate that they pay equal wages. If they cannot do so, they must explain the difference.
