Food, Horeca & Retail
The Food, Horeca & Retail sector is extremely dynamic and is governed by a host of legislation and regulations. The sector also faces various challenges in relation to competition, e-commerce, globalisation and economic developments. In these hectic times, it is important that specialists create ‘workable preconditions’ to remove the burden for the entrepreneurs, leaving them to do what they’re good at – run businesses. We know the sector and offer you complete support in this jungle of legal rules.
We point our clients the way in managing, operating, developing and selling shops, hotels, bars or restaurants. This could involve licences, changes of use, and hotel, restaurant, bar or retail related lease issues. Then there is also the daily operation of the business. Issues in the area of employment law, standard terms and conditions, terms and conditions of delivery or purchase, exclusive purchasing, financing and security, franchise agreements or purchasing or selling a business are our day to day work. The various legal areas that play a part are dealt with integrally.
We act on behalf of chains, franchise chains and individual hotel, restaurant, bars or retailers. Advice and conducting legal proceedings are our expertise.

New rules on wage transparency
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.

The Arnhem-Leeuwarden Court of Appeal recently handed down a ruling on the liability of an accountant for advice on a group structure. Can an accountant (in this case it concerned an accountant, but it also applies to other advisors) be liable to bankruptcy creditors as a result of the advice he provided to the bankrupt company?
