Linda represented me in a complex employment matter involving a US technology company, alongside long-term sick leave and a reintegration dispute.
Her strength is knowing what happens when US at-will employment thinking meets Dutch law. Opposing counsel was American, and much of what was proposed would have been unremarkable under at-will employment but was not available here. Linda saw that immediately, and she read the other side’s risk appetite well enough to anticipate where the pressure would come from.
Her approach is velvet glove, iron fist: courteous in tone, immovable on substance. That made it very difficult to characterise it as unreasonable while the position itself never shifted. Additionally, she caught drafting errors that would have cost me significantly, and raised points I would not have known to ask about, including the tax treatment of several parts of the proposed settlement.
She was responsive, realistic, and honest when my instincts were wrong which resulted in an outcome that was far better than what was first put in front of me.
I would recommend Linda without hesitation, particularly to anyone facing a foreign employer in the Netherlands.
