How I work

For dismissal, settlement agreements (VSO) and employment law matters.

1. Free consultation

In a free consultation, I discuss your situation and provide an initial legal assessment. You immediately gain clarity about your position and possible next steps.

2. Analysis & strategy

I analyze your legal position and determine the most effective approach together with you. Whether it concerns a settlement agreement (VSO), imminent dismissal, illness, underperformance or a salary dispute: you gain clear insight into your rights, risks and negotiation room.

3. Advocacy & execution

I actively guide the process and take over contact with the employer when necessary. For a settlement agreement (VSO), I negotiate the content and conditions. In other situations, I act on your behalf, for example by sending a formal notice or conducting negotiations to restore your position.

4. Legal diligence

I ensure that your legal position is properly protected. For a VSO, I verify the wording and the consequences for your rights. In other matters, I ensure the chosen solution is legally sound and leaves no unintended risks.

5. Completion & aftercare

Once your matter is resolved, I verify the correct execution of agreements or commitments made. Even afterwards, I remain available for questions or further support.

Frequently asked questions

What is a settlement agreement (VSO)?

A settlement agreement (VSO) is a written agreement in which employer and employee end the employment contract by mutual consent. It records arrangements such as the end date, severance pay, final settlement and any release from work.

Do I have to sign a settlement agreement immediately?

No. You should never sign a settlement agreement on the spot. Have it reviewed legally first. After signing you also have a statutory cooling-off period of fourteen days in which you can revoke the agreement without giving a reason.

Do I keep my unemployment benefits with a settlement agreement?

Usually yes, provided the agreement is drafted 'neutrally': the employer takes the initiative, there is no culpability, and the correct notice period is observed. An incorrectly drafted agreement can jeopardise your benefits, which is why a review is important.

How much transition payment do I get when dismissed?

When dismissed via the UWV or the subdistrict court, the statutory transition payment is one third of a month's salary per year worked. With a settlement agreement the amount is negotiable and is in practice often higher than the statutory transition payment.

What is the cooling-off period for a settlement agreement?

You have a statutory cooling-off period of fourteen days after signing, during which you can revoke the agreement in writing without giving a reason. If this right is not stated in the agreement, the period is extended to three weeks.
