He began his career as an attorney in 2018 at the largest law firm in the southern Netherlands and founded Arbeidsadvocaat.nl in 2023, driven by the belief that employment law can be more precise, faster, and more modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employers turn to Stijn for assistance with reorganizations, employment terms and conditions, employee participation, and other labor disputes. He also assists employees and corporate officers in dismissal cases and labor disputes. Because he works on both sides of the table and has served as an in-house counsel at large organizations, he understands how the other party thinks and where there is room for flexibility. As a result, his advice is pragmatic and results-oriented: the best solution, without unnecessary legal red tape.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stijn studied labor law at Erasmus University Rotterdam and completed the Postgraduate Course in Labor Law (PALA) in 2022.

That way, you always know where you stand in advance, and in the vast majority of cases, your employer will cover the costs. For cases where the scope is more difficult to predict, our competitive hourly rate applies.    <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>What happens after the free initial consultation?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the intake interview, we&#8217;ll go over your situation and let you know if and how we can help you, as well as what it will cost. Then it&#8217;s up to you: we won&#8217;t get to work for you until you hire us. So you&#8217;re not tied down to anything.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Does my employer cover the cost of a VSO check?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 95% of cases, yes. In a settlement agreement, it is customary for the employer to reimburse legal fees, and we include that reimbursement as a standard part of the negotiation. The check won&#8217;t cost you anything.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Do you also work entirely online?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The entire process can be handled online, from the initial consultation to the resolution of your case. We work for clients throughout the Netherlands. Would you prefer to meet in person? You can do that at our offices in Eindhoven and Amsterdam.    <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Why hire a lawyer instead of a legal advisor?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Lawyer&#8221; (or attorney) is a protected title. Lawyers are required to complete mandatory training and continuing education, are subject to disciplinary rules, and are bound by a legal duty of confidentiality. In addition, liability insurance is required, and only an attorney may represent you in all proceedings, including appeals. With a general legal advisor, you don&#8217;t have those safeguards, even though the costs are often comparable. Sometimes a legal advisor is unable or unwilling to go to court or UWV, which can be detrimental to your negotiating position.    <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Can I hire you through my legal expense insurance?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many cases, yes. As soon as legal proceedings are necessary, you have the right to choose your own attorney and may select a specialized attorney yourself, with your insurer reimbursing all or part of the costs. We will coordinate this directly with your insurer.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>How soon can you take on my case?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ll get back to you right away, and you can usually schedule an initial consultation within 24 hours. If it\u2019s urgent\u2014for example, in the case of immediate termination or a deadline in your settlement agreement\u2014we\u2019ll always get in touch with you as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\r\n{\r\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\r\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\r\n  \"mainEntity\": [\r\n    {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Wat kost een arbeidsrechtadvocaat?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Bij voorkeur werken wij met vaste prijzen, zoals de juridische controle van of onderhandelen over een vaststellingsovereenkomst. Zo weet je altijd vooraf waar je aan toe bent, en in veel gevallen betaalt je werkgever de kosten of kom je in aanmerking voor gesubsidieerde rechtsbijstand.

Een advocaat heeft een verplichte opleiding en permanente bijscholing, valt onder tuchtrecht en heeft een wettelijke geheimhoudingsplicht. Bovendien is er een verplichte aansprakelijkheidsverzekering en mag alleen een advocaat je in \u00e1lle procedures vertegenwoordigen, dus ook in hoger beroep. Bij een jurist heb je die waarborgen niet, terwijl de kosten vaak vergelijkbaar zijn. Soms kan of wil een jurist niet procederen, wat ongunstig kan zijn voor je onderhandelingspositie.\"}},\r\n    {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Kan ik jullie inschakelen via mijn rechtsbijstandsverzekering?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"In veel gevallen wel. Zodra er een procedure moet worden gevoerd, heb je recht op vrije advocaatkeuze en mag je zelf een gespecialiseerde advocaat kiezen, waarbij je verzekeraar de kosten geheel of gedeeltelijk vergoedt. Wij stemmen dit rechtstreeks met je verzekeraar af.\"}},\r\n    {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Hoe snel kunnen jullie mijn zaak oppakken?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Je hoort direct van ons, en een intakegesprek plan je meestal binnen 24 uur in.
