For more than 20 years, I’ve worked across every facet of employment law. I advise, mediate, and litigate when a settlement can’t be reached. My focus is on sickness and disability, assisting with reorganisations, and individual dismissal law. I am also an MfN-registered mediator.
I studied law at Maastricht University and have been a lawyer since 2000. I completed the Grotius Academy in 2009. I have worked for firms like BoelsZanders Advocaten, Halsten Advocaten, and CLINT|Littler. When I had my own law firm, in addition to working in my own employment law practice, I also handled interim assignments for ABAB Accountants and Advisors, the VVAA (Vereniging voor Arts en Auto), and the LAD (Landelijke Vereniging voor Artsen in Dienstverband), among others.
I work for domestic and foreign companies, both in the profit and non-profit sectors, and I also partner with employees. I regularly conduct in-company training courses, as well.
In addition to my work as a lawyer, I’m also an MfN-registered mediator. With a solution-oriented approach, I primarily mediate workplace disputes and disputes around reintegration during incapacity for work. I’m also an experienced mediator when it comes to restarting communication that allows both parties to reach a constructive agreement on the working relationship or terminate the contract by mutual agreement.
I’m creative, a thorough negotiator, a good sounding board, strategically skilled, solution-oriented, and I have a knack for quickly getting to the heart of the matter.
I’m a member of a number of specialist organisations, such as Vereniging Arbeidsrecht Advocaten Nederland (VAAN), Vereniging Arbeidsrecht Advocaten Amsterdam (VAAA), Gooische Vereniging van Arbeidsrecht Advocaten (GVAA), and Nederlandse Vereniging voor Mediation Advocaten (NVMA). I’m also a voluntary community mediator with Versa Welzijn.
What clients have to say about Inge:
‘We’ve spent the last few months working extensively with Inge. It’s been a very friendly relationship, where Inge always proactively kept a good overview, was always able to communicate to us in plain language the legal context of what we’re dealing with, and the implications certain choices may have. Inge is able to set a good pace, so you can arrive at an efficient solution together.’
‘As a business owner, I can say that Inge Slangen is truly a professional. She has helped me through some very difficult issues over the past few years. We first worked together in the 2010. Inge’s trademark is her pragmatic approach. The end justifies the means, but she also carefully considers whether the costs are proportionate to the expected benefit of a case. She is committed to her clients, a real fighter, someone you can work alongside. I had the opportunity to learn a lot from Inge, a special person with unique knowledge and strength.’
‘Our organisation has a longstanding partnership with L&A Advocaten. I started working with Inge Slangen in September 2021 in my role in the HR department as part of a complex performance and/or absenteeism case. I got to know Inge as someone with relevant expertise who thinks and advises at both organisational and employee level. The starting point here is to strengthen each other and our partnership and take advantage of our mutual expertise. Short lines of communication, good accessibility, speed in taking action, and appropriate legal advice have, in my opinion, helped us reach a sustainable conclusion in multiple different cases/situations. In addition to Inge’s professional qualities, I also very much appreciate her people-oriented and practical approach, with an eye for longer-term organisational interests.’
