An often recurring issue in our contacts with business clients is employment law. Several lawyers at Zwartbol Advocaten are highly specialised in employment law. Our assistance varies from immediate dismissals to mass redundancies as a result of corporate reorganisations. Zwartbol Advocaten acts in the front-line for specific disputes, as well as backstage when giving advice about documentation.

We have specific knowledge and expertise relating to employment law in situations with occupational disabilities and/or ancillary medical problems as in reintegration schemes and the controversy regarding this, Invalidity Insurance Act issues, and sometimes even completely doubtful sickness issues. Zwartbol Advocaten's lawyers have the professional righteousness to even "crack the hardest nuts".

Zwartbol Advocaten gives lectures to various companies on dealing with appraisal forms or about dealing with occupational disability conflicts and the roles of the different players in this, such as the employer, the employee, the company doctor and the UWV (Employee Insurance Agency) (second opinion).

Naturally, several lawyers are members of specialised associations relating to employment law, such as the Rotterdam Employment Lawyers Association (VRAA), the Dutch Employment Lawyers Association (VAAN) and the Employment Lawyers Association (VVA).
