Employment

We take an all-encompassing and cohesive approach to employment-related issues, always pursuing the best overall result for our clients’ human capital.

Our specialist lawyers use their comprehensive understanding of business, solid foundation in legal academics, and first-hand experience of working with and for the labour and social security authorities to support the human resources departments of large and medium-sized companies in all aspects of employment and social security law:

• Drafting and negotiating employment contracts and senior executive contracts
• Collective bargaining
• Redundancy procedures and temporary layoffs and working time reductions, substantial modifications of working conditions and updating of collective bargaining agreements
• Individual and collective judicial proceedings before all branches of the courts
• Designing remuneration schemes, pension plans and supplementary benefits
• Acceptable-use policies for digital devices, video surveillance and “digital disconnection” policies
• Codes of conduct and investigations into psychological, sexual and gender-based harassment
• Occupational hazards prevention

We also advise on employment issues that arise in the context of mergers, acquisitions, transfers of undertakings and outsourcing.
