Work & experience
Provided by Boontje Advocaten & Mediators
Thanks to the seniority of its lawyers, Boontje is able to apply the ‘Employment law Plus Formula', which means that each lawyer, in addition to his or her general knowledge, focuses on one or more specific areas. As a result, the firm has readily available knowledge at any given time and can counsel its clients on employment law matters not only in a broad sense but offer them in-depth advice as well. This is further assured with Prof. Laagland as Advisor and Mr. Witteveen as Senior counsel.
