Baker McKenzie
Client SatisfactionThe employment team at Baker McKenzie makes use of its expertise to advise on the full range of collective dismissals, reorganisations, restructurings and acquisitions. The team is also routinely engaged by clients to handle individual dismissal cases and provide boardroom advice. Mirjam De Blécourt, Remke Scheepstra, and Daniëlle Pinedo jointly lead the practice. De Blécourt is a leading employment lawyer who is well versed in advising the boards of multinationals on labour law issues and large-scale redundancies. Scheepstra focuses on collective employee dismissals, negotiations with works councils, and employment fraud matters, while Pinedo is key for employment litigation mandates.

- 'Deep knowledge of relevant employment matters.'
- 'The Baker McKenzie employment team in the Netherlands is my go-to for all things employment related. The team is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and practical. Baker McKenzie has provided me with one billing contact, which has been very efficient and saved me so much time.'
- 'Anna Van Bracht is the standout lawyer - she has an amazing ability to think strategically, consider the client's needs and to find a solution whatever the issue. She has become my Baker McKenzie contact across all countries and will support me in finding the right contact to provide advice no matter which country I have an issue in.'
- 'Daniëlle Pinedo is a star and sharp.'
- 'Daniëlle Pinedo is extremely knowledgeable and excels in taking a strategic approach to highly sensitive matters. She communicates in understandable legal language and responds to questions promptly. Daniëlle is a trusted advisor who I hope to work with for many more years.'
- 'The team is very pragmatic and innovative. It creates out-of-the-box, innovative solutions. For instance, a global dismissal app and most recently a card deck that can be used by multinationals to avoid inappropriate behaviour and harassment and bullying. The team is very diverse and focuses on technology and increased efficiency by using technology.'
