Paul Zevenbergen has been a PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam since 2026. His research focuses on the internal flexibility of companies within the framework of permanent employment contracts. He analyses (among other things) the scope that labour law offers employers to deploy employees flexibly, the role that collective labour agreements play in this, and how current dismissal law relates to the flexibility of companies. Before Paul began his PhD research, he completed his Bachelor's degree in Law at Utrecht Law College in 2024 and subsequently followed the Master's programme in Labour Law and the Academix Excellence Track at the University of Amsterdam in 2025.
