About Us

Welcome to Milestone Advocaten. We specialise in employment law, corporate law and accountancy law and we can assist and advise you on mediation. Our lawyers are specialists in one or more of these fields and our expertise is the result of years of experience.

We stand for personal service with clear advice and a practical approach. Using our extensive and up-to-date knowledge, we make a detailed analysis before we start. We then work with you to determine the best and most efficient strategy.

We strongly believe in the power of cooperation and knowledge sharing. That is why we work closely with service providers in other fields, such as civil-law notaries, tax and corporate finance advisors and accountants throughout the country. Milestone Advocaten is also often involved in international issues. We are a member of Warwick Legal Network (WLN), an international network of independent law firms in 30 countries providing high-quality legal services.

Milestone Advocaten is centrally located with offices in the middle of the country, in Utrecht and Amersfoort.

Practice areas


Mediation

Mediation is often an effective and rapid method to reach a satisfactory solution for all parties involved without the substantial costs, time and stress of a court procedure. Both parties jointly reach a successful solution instead of recourse to a court hearing with only one winner. Milestone can assist in obviating potential employment conflict situations. Mediation is always strictly confidential. This means that the contents of the mediation can not be used against the other party in litigation, in the unlikely event that no solution is reached. During a mediation all interests of the parties can be brought forward and taken into account. Consequently also non-legal aspects can become part of the solution.

Caroline van der Zwet is a very experienced mediator and registered as such with the MfN (Mediation Federation Netherlands). She can be readily contacted for more information on this aspect. She is also a member of the NVVMA (Dutch Association of Mediation Lawyers).
The main working areas of Caroline as a mediator are:
- conflicts between employers and employees
- conflicts between directors themselves or with shareholders
- conflicts between companies and the works council

Her clients appreciate her practical, solution oriented and rapid approach. Her success rate is high.
