experiences of our clients

Reorganization at a production company

“We have been working with Wessel Van der Lans Advocaten for years, and recently, during a reorganization, they guided us from start to finish: from substantiating the necessity and consulting with the works council to drafting and finalizing the settlement agreements with employees. The guidance was expert and practical, yet personal, making us feel that our case always received sufficient attention and consideration. This enabled us to implement difficult decisions carefully and efficiently.”

“I have been using the services of Wessel van der Lans for some time now, and it simply works well. When I have concerns, I can always call or email them, and they respond quickly. The advice is practical and applicable. What I also appreciate is that they don’t just look at the current problem, but think along about how a situation can be prevented in the future.”
