Employment Law in the Digital Age

We guide our clients through the process of implementing new technologies in employment contexts. We help them establish and develop digital monitoring systems for the workplace (IT monitoring, video-surveillance systems, geolocation and biometric security), and have also successfully defended our clients’ right to use these tools in court (including before the Spanish Constitutional Court). We also assist them with their remote and hybrid working arrangements and digital disconnection policies.

Business dematerialisation is becoming more prominent and with it come numerous implications for the workplace. We move with the times and our practice has proven more than capable of handling complex company transfer processes in digital environments.

Generative AI is powerful, accessible and likely to change workplace dynamics. One of the major challenges ahead is the EU AI Act. We have been monitoring this regulation very closely – even before it was formally approved – to identify how it might affect employment relationships in Spain.

We guide our clients through all aspects of the digital transformation process for workplaces:

• algorithm-based recruitment
• workforce-performance assessment systems
• monitoring systems (digital devices, video-surveillance systems, geolocation and biometric security)
• national and international remote and hybrid working arrangements
• digital disconnection policies
• company transfers in digital environments
• challenging automated administrative decisions
• negotiations with employee representative to implement digital technologies
• AI’s impact on the workplace
