Employment law

The employment lawyers at Wise Law BV assist individuals, companies and international organisations in navigating the legal complexities of employment relationships. We help you make optimal use of commercial opportunities while effectively managing the legal and operational risks inherent in employment law.

Our team provides strategic guidance, manages cases and projects on your behalf, and acts as both a sparring partner and an in-house legal resource when required. We relieve clients of legal burdens so they can focus on their core business operations.

Employment Law Services

Wise Law BV advises on the full spectrum of employment law matters. We assist employers facing reorganisations, mergers or corporate acquisitions, and work closely with management to ensure that decisions are legally sound, commercially viable and aligned with long-term strategic objectives.

At the same time, our employment law team is equipped to handle practical and operational matters. This includes:

  • the drafting and review of employment contracts, including flexible, temporary and remote-work arrangements;
  • the preparation of settlement agreements and termination arrangements;
  • advising on collective and individual dismissal procedures;
  • addressing issues involving employee participation, including works councils and co-determination rights;
  • providing guidance on health and safety obligations in the workplace;
  • advising on privacy and data protection issues relating to employees;
  • supporting employers with matters of illness, reintegration and absentee management;
  • advising on non-competition clauses, restrictive covenants, deployment and secondment;
  • handling matters involving statutory directors (managing directors), including dismissal, liability and governance issues;
  • providing counsel on all matters relating to pensions and pension schemes, where our team possesses specialist expertise.

Strategic and Practical Approach

Our lawyers combine strong legal knowledge with practical insight. We understand that employment law issues have both legal and human dimensions. Our approach is therefore:

  • strategic, ensuring that decisions support the organisation’s broader objectives;
  • pragmatic, focusing on workable solutions that can be implemented effectively;
  • preventive, helping clients minimise future disputes and legal exposure;
  • responsive, ensuring timely and clear communication.

When disputes cannot be resolved through advice or negotiation, our employment law team represents clients before the courts and in arbitration or mediation proceedings.

Knowledge Sharing

Wise Law BV believes in empowering clients through knowledge. Our employment lawyers regularly share updates on legal developments through newsletters, briefings and seminars, ensuring that employers remain informed of changes in legislation, case law and best practices.

Company Law

Company law governs the internal structure, operating rules and organisation of a business. It determines how management responsibilities are allocated and specifies the legal formalities that directors, officers and other corporate bodies must observe.

Shareholders disputes

If, as a shareholder, you are confronted with a deadlock, an abuse of majority power, issues concerning the performance of a shareholders’ agreement, or any situation in which the governance or continuity of the company is seriously affected, Wise Law BV can assist you.

Corporate acquisitions

Corporate acquisitions require numerous arrangements to be made within a short timeframe. The process begins with negotiations, during which addressing the appropriate legal issues at an early stage helps prevent the need to reopen discussions when drafting the sale and purchase agreement.

Financial products

Financial products include all non-personal financial market agreements, such as the offering of shares or bonds to multiple investors, the provision of lending arrangements, and the offering of standardized financial services including credit management and factoring.

Financial enterprises

Financial enterprises are increasingly required to implement structured procedures to comply with the expanding regulatory framework governing the financial sector. The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) and De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) conduct frequent supervisory checks, particularly regarding compliance with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wft).

Financial disputes

Financial arrangements are often complex and typically involve significant interests. It is not always the case that financial institutions and their clients perform their agreements in a manner satisfactory to both parties. Wise Law BV has extensive experience in resolving disputes arising between financial enterprises and their customers.
