C-suite Roundtable: it can be done, with quality as the key

On 5 November 2025, our founding partner Joost van Ladesteijn spoke at the C-suite Roundtable, organised by Michael Page and ZZP Nederland, on engaging self-employed professionals. His conclusion: it can be done.

Quality, quality, quality

What 'location, location, location' is to the estate agent, 'quality, quality and quality' is to the bogus self-employment debate. Joost's message to clients: build your case. Those who carefully document the interpretation of the agreement and all relevant circumstances can do more than is often thought. The test of Article 7:610(1) of the Dutch Civil Code weighs all circumstances of the case; those who prepare that assessment well can make it work for them.
