‘Clear Communication About Problems and Solutions’

Wherever there’s work, misunderstandings can arise. And when the stakes are high, these can lead to divergent perspectives and conflicts. In such cases, it’s crucial to know where you stand, whether you’re an employer or an employee. Clarity about your legal position and a solid understanding of the situation is essential.

That’s what Seliz Demirci, an employment lawyer, can offer you. She advises both national and international employers and employees on a range of employment law issues, such as dismissal cases, terms of employment, disability, and non-compete clauses. She also has experience in liability law, where she advises and litigates in cases involving employer liability for workplace accidents and occupational diseases. Often, she serves as a sparring partner for HR departments on personnel matters and also supports employees. Seliz is closely involved in the expat community as a lawyer and in her role as a board member of ACCESS. Additionally, Seliz writes articles on employment law for the journal MT Rendement.

For Seliz, the key to any solution lies in effective communication: no complex legal jargon, but a clear and understandable explanation, even of the more complex aspects. Once the strategy is aligned with the client, Seliz is persistent and decisive in achieving her client’s goals. Clients describe her as “involved,” “decisive,” and “a skilled negotiator.”

Seliz’s commitment to quality—in both legal and all other aspects—aligns perfectly with the values at GMW advocaten. Like her, the firm values development, both personal and professional. Combined with the informal atmosphere and hands-on mentality, Seliz and GMW bring out the best in each other.

Working from home not an entitlement for the time being

The corona crisis changed how organisations think about working from home. It even led to a legislative proposal; the Work Where You Want Act (wetsvoorstel ‘werken waar je wilt’) aimed at making it easier for employees and employers to reach agreements on hybrid working.
