What not everyone knows: in certain cases you may choose your own lawyer, while the costs are (usually largely) reimbursed by the insurer. This is called free choice of lawyer.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entrepreneurs or SME companies with business legal expenses insurance also have this right. In practice, this occurs less frequently because larger employers usually do not have a policy. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What Does Free Choice of Lawyer Entail?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Normally, an insurer engages its own lawyers. However, in proceedings you may deviate from this and engage a specialized lawyer. The insurer must then reimburse the reasonable costs.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>When Can You Make Use of this?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Free choice of lawyer applies as soon as there is a <strong>judicial or administrative procedure<\/strong>, for example:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>dismissal proceedings at the district court<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>wage claim or discussion about a non-compete clause<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>dismissal application at the UWV, for example in case of <strong>economic dismissal<\/strong> or long-term incapacity for work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>appeal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if the insurer already has its own lawyer working on the case, you can still choose an external lawyer.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What does the insurance cover?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact coverage differs per policy, but often applies:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>reimbursement of lawyer costs up to a maximum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sometimes a deductible or own contribution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Second Opinion via Legal Expenses Insurance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many insurers offer the possibility of a <strong>second opinion<\/strong>. You can then request a second, independent advice from a specialized lawyer. This is reimbursed by the insurer and is useful if you have doubts about the advice of their lawyers.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Frequently asked questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Does free choice of lawyer also apply to employers?<\/strong><br\/>Yes, but only if business legal expenses insurance has been taken out. In practice, this occurs less frequently. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What if my insurer refuses?<\/strong><br\/>According to European case law, you have the right to free choice of lawyer. If the insurer does not recognize this, we can address them on this matter. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can an intake interview also be conducted online?<\/strong><br\/>Yes. This can be done at our office or via video call, depending on what you prefer. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With legal expenses insurance, you often have more options than you think. Thanks to free choice of lawyer, you can engage a specialized employment lawyer, ensuring your interests are optimally protected. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would you like to know if your insurer reimburses the costs of an employment lawyer?
