An employee speaks
What do you enjoy most about your work?
“What I enjoy most about my work is that I can fully focus on and immerse myself in employment law, while still having a lot of variety within the field itself. I usually work for employers, but sometimes I also assist an employee. The topics are also very diverse. One moment it’s about a dismissal case and then, for example, about employer liability or social security. If it has to do with employment law, it comes across my desk! Also, the colleagues at Wessel van der Lans Advocaten are always available for questions, support, and guidance. I find that very pleasant and enjoyable to work with.”
What kind of cases are you currently working on?
“At the moment, I am working on, among other things, a case about inappropriate behavior, a redundancy issue, and a dismissal case.”
What should your new colleague definitely have?
“A sharp eye and a healthy dose of humor.”
