Employment

The success of any company is based on the effective management of its human resources. At the same time the norms regulating employer-employees relations represent a complex set of legal rules. Understanding these complexities and complying with all relevant requirements can be a real challenge for business. We help our clients understand the respective legal provisions and apply them correctly within their enterprises minimizing the related legal risks and ensuring stability within the company.

We have extensive experience of providing services in the area of employment law which includes relevant legal advice, drafting various types of relevant employment-related documents (contracts, orders, internal regulations, etc.), and representing clients in courts and before public authorities.

We assist our clients in solving individual and collective employment disputes, help them restructure and optimize the personnel in strict compliance with the respective legal requirements (including redundancy procedures), deal with complex matters of termination of employment contracts. We also conduct due diligence of all employment related documentation and HR policies and help bringing them in compliance with relevant legal provisions.

Another important aspect of our work is reducing risks of abuse by actual or former employees that can lead to significant losses to the company. We have experience of representing clients in cases of damages or losses directly caused by the staff members and recovering them. We also help designing mechanisms that allow reducing the risks of such losses.
