“A given word binds” That is a golden rule. In daily practice, the “given word” turns out to be rather volatile and in conflict situations often difficult to prove or explain in several ways. In some situations, only a written record is legally valid. It is therefore preferable to have agreements properly recorded in writing. In many situations, there are nevertheless limitations to what you can legally agree upon. Whether it concerns an employment contract or an international distribution agreement, Van Veen Advocaten knows what to do. Drafting, assessing, negotiating or litigating contracts is one of the core activities of Van Veen Advocaten.
