Van Opstal & partners works from locations throughout the Netherlands with a carefully selected network of more than 30 experienced labor mediators. All our mediators are registered with the Mediatorsfederatie Nederland (MfN) and specialize in guiding labor conflicts and exit mediation.

With collectively thousands of successful mediations behind them, they have in-depth experience in both business (SMEs, multinationals) and the public sector (including municipalities, colleges and provinces).

Our mediators come from a variety of fields. Many have a background in labor law, others in psychology or coaching. What they have in common is a keen eye for human dynamics as well as the legal frameworks within which labor conflicts often take place.

Whether restoring an employment relationship or carefully managing an exit, our mediators know how to guide parties in an expert, neutral and respectful manner.

Our mediators meet all the requirements of the MfN register. This means, among other things, that they:

• Have completed a mediation training course recognized by the MfN

• Continually educate themselves through Continuing Education, peer review and practical experience

• Regularly review and evaluate to ensure their professionalism

In addition, as an organization we actively invest in expertise promotion. For example, we regularly organize internal professionalization days, which focus on knowledge sharing, reflection and development.

Over the years, our mediators have achieved an average success rate of 87% in labor mediations. This is no coincidence: it is the result of skill, experience and dedication.
