Labour law

We provide our clients with comprehensive legal services in the field of employment law, in the preparation of employment contracts, termination of employment relationships, as well as in the setting of internal company directives.

Where do we advise?

Our legal services include the preparation of employment documentation between employees and employers, in particular employment contracts (including contracts for managers with specific requirements for their set-up). We also advise clients on termination of employment, including organisational changes and collective redundancies, and represent them in employment disputes arising from invalid termination of employment.

Our legal advisory services include the resolution of various ad hoc issues arising from employment relations, including the posting of employees to work abroad, “hiring out” employees to a user employer, the regulation of legal relations in the home office, or the liability of employees for damage caused in the performance of their duties.

For our clients, we also develop internal company directives, including work regulations, and align them with the requirements of the Labour Code, the Occupational Health and Safety Act and other relevant legislation.

  • Representing the employer in a dispute over the unfair dismissal of the company’s regional director;
