Florence van Rossum
Since July 2020 I have been working as a Judge at the District Court of Rotterdam. From 1 October 2022 to the end of December 2023, I will follow an intensive training there. This means I will not be able to take on new cases. However if you contact me through my email This email address is being protected from spambots.

"My passion in this work, after 30 years, still is to be able to solve a problem my clients may have, thanks to my knowledge and experience in the field of Dutch Labor law. I advise companies on reorganizations and individual termination cases and I negotiate for employees, threatened with termination. I think it is important that the solution is as good as possible for all parties; winning is gratifying, but the most important thing is that everyone can get on with their life and work, as quickly as possible.
