Employment law

Our employment and labour law lawyers are experienced practitioners who represent clients before labour dispute committees and courts, while offering a strategic perspective in every situation.

We help clients in all matters related to labour law, from recruitment and entry into employment contracts to successful completion. We also assist clients with negotiations with trade unions and with investigations into workplace violations.

In cooperation with partners worldwide, we coordinate the necessary services seamlessly across borders and time zones. Our clients have access to a well-established global network that has been operating for decades. All our lawyers understand the importance of a proactive and practical partnership. We respond quickly and always proceed from the specific activities and needs of the client.
