Sophie Stolker

Sophie joined Delissen Martens in January 2014 after graduating from Leiden University.

Expertise

As a lawyer, she deals with all aspects of labour law. Sophie mostly assists employers, as well as employees, in a variety of labour law matters, such as reorganizations, dismissal processes and disputes over terms and conditions of employment.

Her approach

As a lawyer, Sophie is committed. “I value a good personal relationship with my clients; this generally benefits legal assistance. I try to achieve this by handling each case with attention, being accessible to my clients and keeping agreements made.”

In her approach, Sophie takes a solution-oriented approach. “Due to the experience I have gained over the past years, I can quickly get to the core of a problem. That makes it possible - always in consultation with my client - to draw up a plan of action and realize appropriate solutions. Where possible, I try to find that solution in an amicable arrangement. That often produces better results, is less costly and saves a lot of time. Of course this is not always possible; in that case, everything will be aimed at achieving the best result for my client in court.”

That Sophie is skilled at this is evidenced by the fact that in 2018 she won the pleading competitions in The Hague and placed second at the National Pleading Competition.
