Issues and developments

Hospitality is a growing sector that faces increasing competition, changing business models, a constant increase in legal requirements, and rising expectations of guests. The hospitality entrepreneur must be a jack-of-all-trades, creating an optimal experience for the guest.

The hospitality sector is a complex playing field, which often requires legal assistance.

Hoens & Souren is a strong partner for the hospitality sector with a proven track record.

Our expertise in the hospitality sector includes:

• Acquisitions and business succession
• Financing and security
• Negotiations and contracts
• Staff and reorganisations
• Liability issues
• Insolvency and restructuring
• Regulations, permits, and licences

We also advise with company acquisitions, which includes:

• the consequences of the company acquisition for the staff
• drawing up management agreements with the directors
• identifying risks in the employee area and the role of the works council in this

Why Hoens & Souren?

Hoens & Souren has a great deal of experience in all of these areas. Think, for example, of reorganisations and dismissal procedures with the employee insurance agency (UWV) and the subdistrict court. Negotiations on termination agreements are also part of our daily practice.

Our expert, committed and practical approach enables us to resolve employment conflicts quickly and effectively and, if necessary, we can litigate.

Whether you are looking for a helpdesk, require advice available in the background or intense guidance on all of your staff matters, we can provide tailor-made advice.

Clients see us as enthusiastic and feel they are taken seriously. In addition to our experience and legal expertise, our approach can be characterised as refreshing (no old-school lawyers), with short response times, clear language, and a proper estimate in advance.

Examples of what we have achieved for our clients

• Two years continued payment of salary during illness is more than enough!
  An employer had an employee who had been ill over a long period. Hoens & Souren succeeded in preventing the employer from having to pay yet another year’s salary after a period of two years.
• Speedy and successful reorganisation
  Within one month, Hoens & Souren successfully completed a reorganisation process during which the employer had to let nine employees go. Read on.
