We learned that focusing on a good personnel policy is the solution to many problems. That is why we prefer to find out more about what is going on in a company. That way, we can promote a flexible personnel policy through mediation, good pension schemes and reintegration. That is more ‘smart’ than ‘legal’.

Dismissal Procedures
Individual or collective dismissal;
being able to say goodbye
with dignity is key.

CERTA advises and assists in all dismissal procedures, reviews competition and relationship clauses and provides specialist legal assistance.

Works Councils
Besides assisting companies with dismissal procedures, we also support Works Councils. Our Corporate Law section and our employment law experts focus on the entrepreneurial side of your business. Finding the balance between apparently conflicting interests – those of the company and those of the employees – is one of the reasons why we enjoy our profession so much.

As an entrepreneur, you are also just a creditor, and it is not always guaranteed that you will be paid. Then the word ‘entrepreneur’ suddenly sounds a lot less attractive. In that context, you may be faced with insolvency.

Insolvency is about bankruptcy, but it is also about how to avoid bankruptcy. For example, we as specialists are often appointed by the court as a receiver in bankruptcies and as an administrator in suspensions of payment.

We can then deploy this expertise for your business. We are aware of your rights as a creditor and we know whether and how a claim can be recovered even from directors, members of the supervisory board or others.

Directors’ liability
Directors’ liability deserves extra attention in our specialist field. Directors are often not aware that they can be held responsible for decisions made in the past, for example. In the event of bankruptcy, there is the possibility that you as a director, a member of the supervisory board or a shareholder will be held liable and even held personally responsible. We advise you as a director about the risks that can arise and, where necessary, we assist you during any proceedings.

‘Fair housing allocation’ is a challenge for housing associations. From all sides, pressure is exerted on corporations by different parties. And the interests they represent can conflict significantly. So it is an important but complex task.
We have been assisting housing corporations for many years. And that often involves more than just legal assistance. This is partly due to our choice to take a personal approach. We are happy to help our customers succeed.

Illegal occupancy, nuisance, defects, hemp farms, co-tenancy, death, rents, renovation, urgent work and behavioural directives. We charge fixed fees for these standard tasks. The tasks are handled in an integral way: from receipt of the file up to and including the actual eviction (in consultation with the bailiff).

CERTA also helps its housing corporation clients with the specific leasing of commercial space (BOG), such as subrogation, operating obligation, change in intended use, rent adjustments

And specific legislation: Housing Act, Consultation Act, but also ‘just’ the Civil Code: offer and acceptance, error, building liability.
