Dr M.A.N. van Schadewijk (Matthijs)

Matthijs van Schadewijk has been working at the department of Social Law since 2017. He coordinates and teaches the Master's courses Work in the 21st Century and Enterprise & Employment. Matthijs also supervises Master’s theses in the area of employment law.

Matthijs conducts research in the field of employment law. He is particularly interested in sustainable employment, cross-border labour, the interface between employment law and corporate law and the interaction between Dutch and European law. In early 2023 Matthijs defended his PhD on group companies in employment law. Central in his research is the way group companies as economic entities are integrated in employment legislation, which traditionally regulates the contractual, singular relation between employer and employee.

Matthijs holds an LL.M degree in both European Law and Dutch Law (cum laude) from Radboud University Nijmegen and in Corporate and Insolvency Law (with distinction) from the Nottingham Law School.

Matthijs is also a member of the education committee of the faculty of law.
