Mathieu specialises in advice and legal proceedings regarding the scope of application of industry-wide regulations. His thesis, written at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, contains a legally substantiated, mathematical model that can be used to assess and determine the scope of industry (collective labour agreement and pension) regulations applicable to an employer (or an employer's business) in an unambiguous manner; in a manner that is consistent, reproducible and contributes to legal certainty. By applying this calculation model, the financial and other risks involved with the correct interpretation of the scope rules can be significantly limited. Furthermore, he is registered as an expert in the National Register of Judicial Experts ('LRGD') in the field of the scope of industry-wide regulations. As an attorney for over 30 years, Mathieu has a broad and extensive experience in legal proceedings regarding both (international) commercial law and employment law.
