Bio

Pieter Mantel has worked as a lawyer in the Employment & Pensions practice group since 1997 and as a partner at Van Benthem & Keulen since 2007. Pieter specialises in collective employment law, including restructuring, strikes, CLA and employee participation. Pieter heads the Employment & Pensions practice group. For Pieter, cooperation with clients is much more than settling cases. Pieter is very interested in the client’s business drivers and how to come to an appropriate solution based on these. Pieter likes to share his specialist knowledge of the interface of employment law and HR. He often consults with his clients on training programmes in order to learn from each other and get better together. Pieter also coordinates settlement of more operationally-oriented employment law issues. In this, he draws on the expertise of the lawyers in his practice group, e.g. on dismissal cases and illness cases. Pieter is a regular speaker with iura actua, Employment Law module and with the Employment Law Masterclass. He also frequently gives workshops onsite with his clients.
