DUNYA VAN DER MARK

What typifies Dunya is her creativity, ready knowledge and razor-sharp formulations, with which she is always looking for the best result for her client. Expert and driven, committed and result-oriented, with just as much attention for the human side of the work. It goes without saying that she masters all legal aspects down to the last detail. Service with that little bit extra, where its clients know throughout the entire business that they are in good hands, that they are taken care of. Speaking the client’s language makes the difference. She gains that trust by advising her clients in a practical and clear manner and guiding them towards an optimal result.

Dunya mainly assists employers, from small to (medium) large and within various sectors such as construction, healthcare, housing, semi-government and other business services. She has extensive experience and knowledge of the various aspects of employment law, with a special focus on strategic management of absenteeism and reintegration files, individual and collective dismissal law such as reorganisations, transfer of undertaking, collective employment agreement and employee participation law, but also, for example, integrity issues and equal rights. Dunya also enthusiastically gives in-company seminars on topics such as current employment law and disability and reintegration.
