De Legal 500, een jaarlijkse ranglijst van advocatenkantoren over de hele wereld, heeft de EMEA 2024-gids gelanceerd. De ranglijst wordt samengesteld op basis van objectief onderzoek naar de ervaring en feedback van cliënten en vakgenoten. Tot onze trots kregen wij ook dit jaar weer vermeldingen voor de commerciële procespraktijk en arbeidsrecht, die beiden hun ranking hebben behouden.

“Wij danken onze cliënten en peers die zich zo positief hebben uitgesproken over onze dienstverlening. Wij zijn trots op de noteringen van onze advocaten Floris Diepraam, Robbert Boesveld, Babette Blaisse-Verkooijen, Oscar van der Pol, Martyn Top, Muriel Middeldorp en Hester Tonino.”, aldus Pieter Nabben, managing partner.

 

The Legal 500 – 2024 vermeldt onder andere het volgende:

NETHERLANDS > EMPLOYMENT TIER 4

Haarlem-based firm Pot Jonker Advocaten advises multinationals on employment issues related to their Dutch operations and is skilled at handling both advisory and litigation work. In addition to domestic employment advice, the team also advises on cross-border matters, and has handled several notable whistleblower and dismissal cases. Practice head Muriel Middeldorp is a key name for transfer of undertaking issues, as well as matters involving dual positions of managing directors. Hester Tonino combines her expertise in healthcare, privacy, and employment to advise healthcare institutions on issues such as discrimination or negotiations with works councils. Martyn Top focuses on reorganisations, the termination of employment agreements, and employee participation.
