Service was very good. They took the time to hear my story and review the situation. Based on that they came with a couple of options and that was very helpful for me. At the end everything ended well for me.

My great thanks to Charlotte and Michiel for their help. They were consistently quick to respond, professional and supportive. I trusted their advice and thanks to their level-headedness, determination and clarity, they achieved a good outcome in a difficult situation. It was a stressful situation where I was already burnt out dealing with a challenging employer; being able to hand it over and know that someone had my back took a lot of stress from me. Charlotte, especially, was an absolute star and talked calm sense when I was exasperated.

I got in contact with Charlotte regarding a legal contract with my employer. She is very professional and is an expert in Dutch labor law. She spent enough time to understand my concerns, answered all my queries and suggested an appropriate reaction to my employer. All this were accomplished on time, and the outcome was very good and satisfactory. I would definitely recommend her to resolve any employment related legal issues.

Charlotte was of very good help, knowledgable and sensitive in a time where we were unsure of what to do. Being an expat and loosing your job, puts a great amount of stress on you and Charlotte were up to the task supporting and advising us by trying to negotiate the best deal for us.I would highly recommend Sec Arbeidsrecht Advocaten for any queries realting to the Labour Law in The Netherlands.

I was looking for a lawyer specialized in expatriates and collective dismissal, that's how I found SEC's Michiel Dekker. His advice was key to obtaining a considerable increase in the money corresponding to the liquidation of my contract. Excellent availability and professionalism.
