Biography

Robin joined Dirkzwager in 2019 and has been a lawyer since 2022. She specialises in employment law with a focus on civil service law and (international) labour mobility.

In particular, Robin advises and litigates on:

  • (International) labour mobility issues, for example on working with self-employed persons, 'workcations', frontier workers or home working policies.

  • (International) secondment and agency arrangements.

  • Special regulations applicable to government employers (CAO Municipalities, Civil Servants Act, integrity requirements, etc.).

  • Applicability or concurrence of collective labour agreements.

  • Dismissal cases, including in relation to integrity violations, theft or violation of non-competition clauses.

Her clients include government employers, scale-ups, and medium to large national and international companies, including those in the (sustainable) energy and healthcare sectors. In addition, Robin occasionally advises private individuals, such as (statutory) directors and (non-statutory) civil servants.

Robin’s working method is characterised by a down-to-earth and accessible approach, tailored to her client’s organisation and the specific matter at hand. In some cases, an hour of sparring is sufficient; in others, more extensive advice or comprehensive, end-to-end support is required. Robin's approach is pragmatic, without losing sight of the underlying legal analysis. 

Work highlights
  • Delivering an international mobility policy for a network operator.
  • Shaping a large-scale, mutual secondment arrangement for two large healthcare institutions.
  • Successfully advising and guiding a large municipality on a public liability claim.
