Advice and guidance by a lawyer

As a result of the Normalisation of the Legal Status of Civil Servants Act (Wnra), many civil servants have switched to an employment contract and are no longer subject to civil service law, but to civil employment law. Civil servants working in, among other sectors, the police, defence, judiciary, political office holders, notaries and bailiffs, members of the High Councils of State, and members of advisory boards and independent administrative bodies still fall under civil service law. However, (former) civil servants appointed to the public sector occupy a separate position. Blenheim is familiar with the legal position of civil servants and is experienced in solving disputes that may arise.
