Anika Bongers
Anika Bongers has been working in the Employment Law Group of
Kennedy Van der Laan since 2003. Anika engages in all aspects of
employment law. The majority of her clients are national and

Anika specializes in guiding reorganizations from A to Z,
sometimes in the scope of her secondment to clients. In the past
years, Anika has given guidance to various clients in large and
small reorganizations, both in the preliminary phase – when
drafting the collective redundancy notification and
negotiating/drafting the social

and preparing and conducting dismissal proceedings.
Anika also advises both employers and works councils on aspects
of employee co-governance law. As a member of the Employment Law
Association, Anika was part of the Employee Co-Governance Law
Working Group. This working group prepared the Recommendations for
the evaluation of the Dutch Works Councils Act 2009/2010 for the
Minister of Justice.
