Works councils

A strong works council is a valuable sounding board and helps keep an organisation healthy. It safeguards the balance between necessary changes and the interests of the employees.

Why works councils
choose Workx Advocaten

Workx Advocaten specialises in employee participation law.

We have years of experience in supporting works councils with complex issues and negotiations. Some of our lawyers have been members of works councils themselves.

We understand the dynamics and know that as a works council member you can find yourself in quite challenging situations, especially when the stakes are high, such as in acquisitions or reorganisations.
