We provide strategic advice on all aspects of employment law and employment disputes. We are dedicated to understanding our clients’ needs and helping employers build successful, sustainable businesses while fostering compliant workplaces. We understand that employment questions do not exist in a vacuum — they impact organisations’ business, culture, and productivity. We deliver practical and bespoke solutions, helping our clients stay ahead of constantly evolving employment regulation and new ways of working.
From hiring to termination of employment, and every stage in between, we advise our clients on both contentious and non-contentious employment matters. Our team is equipped to assist with restructurings and reorganisations, business transfers, change negotiations, performance management, workplace investigations, discrimination allegations, collective bargaining agreements, executive and employment agreements, and matters related to employment policies, pensions and benefits, and incentive schemes. Setting up personnel representation in company administration and EWC arrangements, both in domestic and cross-border context, is our core expertise. We also assist our clients in all employment law disputes in courts and arbitration proceedings and in employment-related criminal matters.
We collaborate across practices to provide comprehensive solutions. For instance, together with our IP & Tech Practice, we ensure that our clients’ IP, trade secrets, and data are properly protected and processed in the employment context, and we also advise clients on the use of AI in employment relationships. Together with our Tax Practice, we assist clients with cross-border work and relocation matters, global mobility, and consultant and independent contractor arrangements.
Whether you are operating in a fast-growing scaleup, a multinational corporation, or a family-owned business, we are committed to being your trusted partner, supporting you in every aspect of employment law with precision and expertise.
