Are you an employer looking for an employment law solicitor? Marxman Advocaten in Amersfoort assists employers, HR departments and directors with all employment law matters. Our employment law solicitors advise you on dismissals, reorganisations, bogus self-employment, the drafting and amendment of employment contracts, and disputes with employees – from preliminary advice to litigation where necessary. For 25 years, we have been helping businesses manage employment law risks and make well-informed decisions regarding their staff. We take a practical, solution-oriented approach, whilst keeping the commercial interests of your organisation in mind.
Marxman assists employers with, amongst other things:
Whether you are seeking advice in advance, building a case or need to take legal action, our employment law solicitors will work with you to identify the quickest and most responsible course of action.
Terminating an employee’s employment requires sound justification and a carefully compiled file. Marxman advises employers on the grounds for dismissal, the transition payment and fair compensation, and drafts settlement agreements that stand up to legal scrutiny. We also support you in the event of summary dismissal or a breakdown in the employment relationship, ensuring you are not faced with any unexpected developments.
There is a great deal involved in a reorganisation or downsizing: the principle of proportional representation, the role of the UWV, a potential social plan and the position of the works council. Our solicitors guide you through the entire process – from strategic preparation to implementation – whilst keeping a close eye on both the legal risks and the consequences for your organisation.
The dismissal of a statutory director is subject to specific rules: company law and employment law intersect, and a mistake can prove costly. Marxman advises companies and shareholders on the appointment, suspension and dismissal of directors, and on the decision-making process within the general meeting required for these matters.
Working with self-employed contractors, agency workers and those on temporary contracts offers flexibility, but also entails risks. Since the stricter enforcement of the DBA Act, bogus self-employment has become a pressing issue for every employer. Marxman assesses your contracts and working practices, and advises on how to organise flexible working arrangements without a contractor subsequently being classified as an employee. For us, it is not about the title of the agreement, but about how it is actually carried out.
An employee on long-term sick leave or who is unable to perform their duties often raises difficult questions. Are you permitted to terminate the employment contract, and if so, how? Marxman advises employers on their obligations regarding return-to-work support, continued payment of wages during sick leave and compiling a case file. Good to know: a dormant employment contract does not end automatically, and as an employer you remain ultimately responsible for the employee’s return to work – even if you have followed the company doctor’s advice.
Do you wish to enforce a non-competition or non-solicitation clause, or amend your staff’s terms and conditions of employment? You cannot simply do so – consider acquired rights such as bonuses. Our solicitors draft clauses that will stand up to legal scrutiny and advise you on the scope you have to amend terms and conditions of employment, either unilaterally or by mutual agreement.
Marxman is here for employers and organisations that take employment law seriously. We work primarily for medium-sized and large employers with a professional HR department or senior management acting as the point of contact, and for statutory directors and CEOs in their respective roles. The sector is irrelevant. We focus on providing advice and guidance that genuinely adds value – not merely on reviewing a standard document.
