R.J.M. van den Broek LL.M.

Employment law with
sound judgement.

More than three decades of experience as an employment lawyer, collective bargaining negotiator and legal adviser. Personal, focused and bridge-building.

Through Juridisch Adviesbureau Rogerius B.V. I advise and litigate in the fields of employment law, collective labour agreements and pensions, and I assist private individuals and self-employed professionals with their tax affairs. Whether it concerns an individual dismissal case, a job evaluation process or complex collective bargaining at major chemical companies, I work in a structured way and always with an eye for the human dimension.
