Port & Trade Maritime Lawyers
Among other things, the lawyers of Leeman Verheijden Huntjens Advocaten assist clients with the conclusion of international commercial contracts and the realisation thereof. In addition to advice, we do of course also offer assistance in the event of contract disputes. Examples include quick attachment, preliminary relief proceedings, legal proceedings or international arbitration.
Commercial cases with international aspects are among the most complex cases brought before the court. And we know how to do it. Our lawyers have a name to uphold. With more than 25 years of experience in the field of international commercial law, a growing number of clients contact us with complex international matters in the field of documentary payments or the settlement of security rights.
Banks too rely on our lawyers with their sector-specific knowledge of the port and trade.

Dissolution of contract: What is a reasonable period for performance?
Suppose your contracting party does not deliver the quality you had agreed, how much time should you give them to improve their performance? In other words, when can you say: "I have lost my patience and I want to dissolve the contract"?
WW premium: low or high rate?
With effect from 1 January 2020, the Labour Market Balancing Act (Wab) will introduce a new system for the WW premium. The sectoral premium differentiation will also be abolished, because many companies no longer belong to a single sector.
Terminating an Agency agreement by the Principal
An agency agreement (“Agency Agreement”) may be terminated with or without cause and below you will find a practicable explanation on which steps need to be considered. 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.
