De Clercq Advocaten Notariaat

Employment & Employee Participation

Senior Associate | Attorney at law

Jan-Pieter has a keen interest in employment law and makes every effort to empathise with his clients in order to achieve the best possible result. His extensive work experience in both law and science enable him to analyse and solve complex problems. He strives for simplicity where possible, but does not shy away from complexity where necessary.

‘Employment law is a fascinating and challenging field. Because no question or problem is exactly the same, and there are few to no standard answers available, creative solutions are required. I derive a great deal of energy from helping clients, with a dose of humour wherever possible. I also feel it’s important to share my knowledge with clients, colleagues and students by means of courses and publications, as a means of staying keen and up to date. It goes without saying that I also enjoy learning from others!'

Jan-Pieter studied Economics and Dutch Law at Erasmus University Rotterdam, and successfully completed his Master’s in Employment Law (cum laude) in 2011. He worked as an attorney for various law firms from 2012 to the end of 2017, and went on to lecture in Employment Law at Erasmus University from 2017 to 2023. He joined De Clercq as an attorney in 2024, and focuses on employment law (including internationally) and employment participation law.
