A statutory managing director is dismissed due to liquidation of the company. He is offered a paltry sum in compensation. He has strong suspicions that the shareholder has financially ‘plundered’ the company, but he does not know how to prove this. The employment law and company law sections at Broeseliske Van Vlijmen Advocaten work closely together on this case. A writ of attachment is served on the shareholder, which places the managing director in a favourable negotiating position. Consequently, the case is settled with a decent level of compensation at an early stage of the proceedings.
In the course of the reorganisation of a major manufacturing company, compulsory redundancies appear to be unavoidable. Broeseliske Van Vlijmen Advocaten supervise the request for advice from the Works Council, negotiate with the unions about a redundancy plan and conduct the dismissal procedures. The permits to terminate contracts of employment are issued quickly, and the excess personnel are made redundant.
