Employment law
Broad and specialist expertise
Boontje Advocaten & Mediators has focused on employment law since it was founded in 2001. Our broad expertise in this field of law allows us to serve our clients in a wide range of sectors, from small and medium-sized enterprises, listed companies and internationally operating companies, to public and semi-public authorities and non-profit organisations. We offer legal advice at all levels, from boardroom to individual employees. Our services are characterised by high quality and reliability, specialist expertise and personal involvement. We aim for long-term relationships with our clients and sustainable solutions for their issues and conflicts in the workplace.
Mission and core values
Our mission is to unburden our clients, allowing them to focus on what matters most to them. We want to reach genuine resolution of employment disputes, to share our knowledge, and to contribute to legal development. In this way, we make a meaningful contribution to our clients and society.
Mediation
Mediation is a different approach to conflict management, opting for the harmony model rather than the tournament model. No polarisation and legal battle, but a faster route to a solution, whereby the parties themselves remain in control and jointly attempt to solve their dispute. The mediator helps the parties to restore communication and assists in the
negotiations towards an outcome that is acceptable to both parties. Several lawyers at Boontje have completed the mediator training course. Four registered mediators currently work at our office: Dianne van Moerkerk, Wouter Hes, Suzan van der Meer and Myrthe Steenhuis. They are all demonstrably qualified and experienced in the field of employment law and with respect to partnerships.
