About

Provided by Dentons

  • Works council advice: We’ve been busier than ever handling works council-related advice, where our clients also include the Works Councils of Microsoft and DHL.
  • Pensions: A crucial part of our overall employment law capabilities in Amsterdam involves advising on pensions issues. We have a tremendous amount of expertise in this area – both on the advisory side, and in litigating disputes on behalf of pension providers (insurers and pension funds).
  • Immigration: A key part of our wider employment law service offering to clients. Senior associate Sascha Kuit, who used to work at the Dutch immigration service, is our key name. Together with Sarah Ingles Carlyle, head of immigration in the Dentons UK office, we set up a global immigration group in 2022 to offer a structured service to multinational clients.
  • International strength: A large amount of our employment work is international, and the firm has a strong understanding of cross-border employment issues.
