Amber Willemsen

Employment law is constantly evolving. Social developments influence work relationships, and the Dutch government is continuously adjusting labour laws. However, due to the many open norms and the human/personal aspects involved, it’s often the specific details of a case that are decisive. Therefore, our clients deserve personal attention, precise legal insight, and a solution that truly reflects their situation.

This is exactly what you can expect from Amber Willemsen, a lawyer in our employment law section. She provides expert assistance to both national and international employers on a wide range of employment law issues, from dismissal cases to disability disputes. Additionally, she represents groups of employees in matters such as reorganizations or collective bonus claims. With her experience advising both employers and employees, she can effectively analyse and articulate the mutual interests in each case, ensuring that clients always know where they stand.

When the situation becomes truly challenging, Amber is at her best. Successfully bringing a complex case or a tactically challenging negotiation to a positive conclusion is what gives her great satisfaction. Her drive—both at work and in her personal life—is rooted in her strong sense of justice meaning that she is relentless in solving problems and will not stop until her clients are fully satisfied and able to move on.

Clients value her personal and efficient approach. Her punctuality, accessibility, and supportive role make them feel understood and well-informed. Amber’s attention to detail and her ability to listen allows her to quickly understand the impact of a conflict. You are not only in legally competent hands: her engagement also helps guide you through the steps that the law doesn’t cover.

What Amber values most about GMW advocaten is the freedom for individuals to develop in ways that suit them. Whether it’s networking, writing articles, or—like Amber herself—being part of the firm’s sustainability committee and an external advisor at the Haagse Wetswinkel, it’s all possible. Amber feels completely at home, if not more, at GMW advocaten.
