Settlement Agreement & Negotiation

We review and negotiate your Settlement Agreement — for maximum severance and more time

Received a Mutual Termination Agreement (vaststellingsovereenkomst)? We make sure you get the best possible exit: more money, more time on payroll and protected status in the Netherlands.

We exclusively represent employees. Never employers.

We have never worked for an employer — and we never will. That means no conflicts of interest, ever. Our only goal is to protect your income, your visa and your rights.

What we do for you

Step 1

Free legal review

Within 24 hours we check severance, notice period, WW eligibility, visa, 30%-ruling, bonuses, equity, holiday payout, non-compete and your reference letter.

Step 2

1-on-1 strategy call

In a video consultation we walk through your scenarios, the risks and the negotiation strategy that fits your case.

Step 3

Negotiation

We support you in the negotiations, or handle them fully on your behalf, until your contract is safe and your payout is as high as possible.

Step 4

Final legal review

Before you sign, we read all the fine print so nothing backfires after signing.

Results

Examples of results we achieved for expats

+4 months

on payroll — HSM visa protected

Software engineer on an HSM visa: end date moved from 1 to 5 months, giving him time to find a new sponsor without leaving the Netherlands.

+€22,000

extra severance

Senior manager (6 years): statutory transition fee increased by more than 2x, plus employer-paid legal fees.

+3 months

paid garden leave

Data analyst: paid garden leave while job hunting, keeping her 30%-ruling intact by starting with a new employer on time.

+€9,800

bonus & holiday payout

Sales lead: pending commission and unused holiday days that were waived in the first draft were fully paid out.

Anonymised examples. Every case is different.
