About Solos

Solos is a legal agency specialized in Dutch employment law, run by Margot Hoving. Solos provides a helping hand within a broad spectrum of Dutch employment law questions, conflicts, and opportunities. Did you just say opportunities, not only conflicts? Yes: I strongly believe law, especially employment law, can bring as much positivity and support to your business as it can be a force of stability and protection. How? I’ll tell you more about it in the FAQ.

Why did I start Solos? After learning the ropes of employment law at both an international full-service law firm and a specialized employment law boutique, it was time to start a new adventure. With Solos I bring business sense and a people-oriented approach to the employment law profession. Next to guiding my clients, I actively keep up with the developments of labor law in academia and the legal practice, and try to make a contribution to it. I reguarly publish legal articles, legal opinions on legislative proposals, and speak on topics such as green employment conditions. In 2024, I graduated cum laude from the one-year postgraduate specialisation degree at Grotius Academy.

FAQ

FEAR?

How to move along or restructure a business in challenging times? How to get your voice to be heard as a works council regarding import business topics? Did you just receive a settlement agreement from your employer and do you not know what to expect? The current time sets us for endless challenges that manifest itself in legal queries. While it might be intimidating at first, I will guide you through the legal landscape.

FLOURISH?

Yes. Employment law is not only about conflicts, it can also bring much positivity and support to your business. Think of reshaping your employer branding, initiating new ideas as a works council or individual employee. Ever thought about offering green employment conditions? Using the law as a toolbox does not only make us creative but also innovative, which in my opinion is key in today’s world. As people are key to your business in my opinion, are you ready to let them flourish?

FEES?

Getting to know you matters to me. Whether you are a HR specialist, manager / founder, works council member or an employee, the first introductory call is always free of charge. The purpose of this call is to get to know each other and see whether I can provide a helping hand. Afterwards, we will dive into details, discuss your question(s) and set next steps. To do so I will either work on an hourly rate or we can agree on a fixed price in case that suits better. I strive to be transparent on the expected fees and will create moments to reflect on the road we are walking together to continuously match my work with your needs, expectations, and goals.
