“Het is een verademing dat dit advocatenteam arbeidszaken niet onnodig juridificeert, snel handelt en onze taal spreekt.”

“Marian en haar team kijken altijd met een open én kritische blik naar hetgeen voorgelegd wordt. Er wordt gezocht naar nieuwe oplossingen die verder gaan dan de letter van de wet en zich ook richten op de dynamiek tussen partijen, of dat nu de individuele medewerker, de samenwerking met het hoofdkantoor of met de medezeggenschapsorganen is. Niet bang om een mening te geven, ook als die buiten het pad van het wetboek gaat. Altijd kort op de bal, doortastend en optredend als een logisch verlengde van je eigen organisatie. Een bijzonder fijne business partner om mee samen te werken!”
