Çiğdem Özcan

I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Law from Erasmus University Rotterdam and my Master’s degree in Employment Law from Leiden University. After graduating in 2020, I worked as an employment lawyer for a trade union, where I assisted employees in disputes with their employers. I then gained broad experience practising as a solicitor, with a strong focus on international cases at the intersection of employment law and immigration law.

I specialise in employment law and labour migration law, with particular expertise in the field of cross-border employment. This combination of employment law and labour migration makes my approach effective and practical – particularly for employers with an international workforce.

I am registered in the following main (and sub-)areas of law in the Dutch Bar Association’s register of legal specialisms: employment law. Under the terms of this registration, I am required to earn ten continuing professional development points each calendar year in each registered main area of law, in accordance with the standards set by the Dutch Bar Association.
