A dispute should not always have to end up in court. In fact, it’s far better in all respects to avoid entering legal proceedings, and instead work together to find a solution. Van Hall Arbeidsrecht can also assist you in this.
Interests instead of positions
Martijn van Hall continually encounters conflicts in his daily practice. As a lawyer, he represents his client’s position, but as a mediator, he looks at the interests of both parties. “If you listen to each other’s interests, you’ll realise that a solution is closer at hand than you think.” A balanced mediation will help you to arrive at a mutually satisfactory outcome.
The importance of dialogue
Wim Bouma sees himself as a connector of people. “Mediation enables you to reach a solution through the efforts of the people involved. Instead of directing the actions of the parties, you encourage them to discuss their issues and resolve their problem together.” During his extensive medical career, Wim Bouma gained a great deal of experience in conflict resolution.
Combined forces
Martijn van Hall is thorough, rational, and thinks in terms of opportunities. Wim Bouma takes an efficient, effective and people-oriented approach to his work. What you see is what you get. By asking the right questions, they bring the parties closer together. Then, as a team, they join forces in order to find a solution that all parties can agree upon. Both are MfN-registered.

To the point. Efficient and people-focused. Aside from his many years’ work as a surgeon, Wim also held various medical administrative positions. In that capacity, he was regularly involved with mediation in conflict situations. After ending his medical career, he decided to become a mediator by following the education at the School for Mediation in Driebergen. Wim consistently thinks in terms of solutions, yet in doing so, never loses sight of the human aspect.
