There are more than 7 million employees in the service of employers in the Netherlands alone. Although their employment relationship is usually one subject to private law, because of employee protection there are often deviations from classical private law. The latter is a particular feature of employment law. Moreover, large parts of employment law are of a public-law nature. Think, for example, of the legal position of public servants, but also social security law.

More than 25 specialist employment lawyers work at CMS Derks Star Busmann. They have wide experience of matters to do with reorganizations, labour conflicts, outsourcing, incapacity for work, pensions and both individual and collective redundancy.
