Employment Law

Employment law is always an issue for entrepreneurs with staff. Employment relationships often give rise to questions relating to employment law. Drafting an employment contract or terminating one, incapacity for work, employee participation, matters relating to the collective labor agreement: these are subjects that you, as an entrepreneur, are usually not very familiar with, but which are essential for business operations and employment relationships. Advice from a lawyer ensures that you are within your rights. Fruytier’s lawyers have extensive experience in areas such as labor law, dismissal law, and collective bargaining agreement law.

Employment law attorney for directors

Fruytier regularly assists (statutory) directors in employment law disputes. The position of a statutory director within a company or organization differs from the role held by employees. A director is accountable to the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS) and at the same time fulfills the role of legal representative of the employer. In this position, the director is therefore subject to corporate and employment law regulations. An employment lawyer at Fruytier can advise both directors and governing bodies on all areas of employment law and, if necessary, assist in legal proceedings.
