Employment law

Employment and employee representation

Employment law is one of our niches. Our employment law specialists know all about the legal aspects of the employment relationship. We assist HR or management in their decisions on a variety of issues affecting the relationship between employer and employee. Be it dismissal, non-competition clause, employment contract, reorganization or other matters in which labor law plays a role. If litigation is required, we pull out all the stops to win.

Discussions about the agreements in an employment contract are commonplace. Think about agreements on salary, vacation days, sick pay or bonus payments. If there are many changes within the organization, chances are that these will also involve labor law issues. Such as individual or collective dismissal, reorganizations, works council involvement and issues surrounding cross-border labor relations. Even if an employee has already left employment, discussions may arise, for example about a non-competition clause, non-solicitation clause or confidentiality clause.

Prevention is better than cure. Therefore, it is wise to seek advice on employment law matters.

We have a team specializing in employment law that advises and litigates within this area of law. We assist in drafting and adapting standard documents, such as employment contracts, self-employment agreements, management agreements and personnel handbooks.
