There's no such thing as a hopeless case: there's always something to win
Our expertise
L&A Advocaten is specialised in employment law and mediation. All of our lawyers have in-depth knowledge of and experience with every facet of employment law.
Our many years of experience in commercial law have built a solid foundation for our practice, which focusses mainly on large and medium international companies, directors, and employees in senior management.
Legal advice
L&A Advocaten mainly advises employers, directors, senior employees, and works councils. Our professional yet flexible approach translates into practical, tailor-made solutions.
Mediation
The relationship between employer and employee can start to strain over time, keeping work from getting done and leading to a breach of trust or even a labour dispute.
Litigation
We would always prefer to reach a practical solution quickly, but litigation is obviously an important part of our practice.
Training courses
Employment law often raises specific practical questions. These are just a few of the questions we've handled:
We're proud of our clients
“We decided to work with L&A Advocaten several years ago, and it's a choice we still stand by today. We need an employment law partner who understands our business and can provide us with the right support. Who can both handle practical work for us and offer in-depth guidance where necessary. By quickly offering the relevant solution we need, without getting bogged down in legal lectures. Our collaboration ranges from updating our employment contracts to full case management in cassation proceedings. The L&A team has the right people to help us meet any need at a realistic cost. For us, it's essential that the business partnership is deeply ingrained in every L&A team member. That's what sets them apart from other offices, and why we're happy to continue this successful partnership.”
Industrial services company with around 1,150 employees
“L&A has been our go-to law firm for several years. When it comes to supporting individual cases and for advice, the lines of communication are short, response times quick, and the advice pragmatic. In late 2020, widespread transgressive behaviour was uncovered at one of our locations, and quite a few people were involved. L&A guided and supported us closely during the investigation and in settling multiple cases. They also had an on-site team available for several weeks to provide top-notch service. Thanks in part to L&A, we were able to let quite a few employees go, quickly and carefully.”
