Employment

ForBusinessesPublic sectorIndividuals

Employment relationships are governed by demanding rules and short deadlines, and a poorly prepared decision is costly for either party. For businesses, we draft contracts and internal regulations, conduct disciplinary proceedings and advise on dismissals and restructurings, with close attention to cost and implementation. For employees, we assess the situation promptly and defend their rights within the company, before the Working Conditions Authority (ACT) and in court.

What we do

  • Employment, internship and service contracts; company internal regulations
  • Disciplinary proceedings, statement of charges and dismissal for just cause
  • Redundancy of a position, collective redundancy and restructurings
  • Termination agreements and calculation of severance pay
  • Notifications of hiring and termination to Social Security
  • Support for employees: unlawful dismissal, employment-related claims and defence in disciplinary proceedings
  • Employment litigation and representation in court
