Band 4

Wijnand Blom acts for clients on negotiations with works councils, as well as assisting with redundancies and executive dismissals. He has further experience concerning the transfer of employees.

I think one of his key strengths is his knowledge of the law and how to use it to our advantage.

Wijnand Blom is a highly experienced employment lawyer who combines a deep understanding of Dutch labour law with a pragmatic, results-oriented approach.

Wijnand Blom is a subject matter expert.

He is not afraid to defend his clients' positions in court but also knows how to recognise a good deal and when to settle.

We always felt perfectly supported by him. He was very switched on and always able to connect the big picture with the tactics.
