DLA Piper leverages its global network to support international and domestic clients on cross-border employment and pension mandates. The practice is known for its sector strengths in technology, media, aviation, telecoms, energy, transport and finance. The group is well known for its expertise in handling the employment aspects of restructurings and M&A transactions, to name a couple of areas. Johan Zwemmer heads the practice, and earns plaudits for his ‘deep expertise in employment law’. Other key practitioners include pensions expert Erik Lutjens, the ‘responsive’ Jasper de Bok and the ‘fantastic’ Thomas Boot. The team was bolstered by the arrival of the ‘highly dedicated and committed’ Remke Scheepstra in April 2024.
