• company restructuring and application of the Acquired Rights Directive
• employees layoffs and mass dismissal;

With our in-depth knowledge of HR issues and our wide litigation experience, we can review your internal policies, manage risks and ensure that you comply with regulations.

When an employment dispute arises, we work with clients to evaluate cost-effective litigation strategies and any available alternatives to litigation. Our attorneys regularly appear at the trial and appellate court levels, as well as administrative agencies. We have expertise defending claims of wrongful discharge and workplace tort claims, discrimination, failure to accommodate, and defamation. Likewise, we regularly handle claims involving breach of contract, misappropriation of funds, and non‐competition agreements.

Our lawyers have advised corporate clients on a vast range of legal and practical issues arising out of the employment or engagement of employees, directors and contractors, including pay and minimum wage, recruitment and screening, benefit and bonus schemes, misconduct, sickness, appropriate sanctions, flexible working, maternity, paternity and family rights, bringing and defending a claim.

Our lawyers have reviewed, drafted, and negotiated employment contracts and service agreements for both employers and employees. We have advised companies on a vast range of employment law compliance and human resources issues, including protection of their confidential information and preventing staff and former members of staff misusing that information.

We have vast experience in assisting and supporting employers faced with internal disciplinary or performance improvement procedures, in successfully representing employers in disputes arising out of individual and collective redundancy processes, as well as successfully defending employers from dismissal claims.
