Employment and labour law

From contracts to dispute resolution

We advise on all areas of employment and labour law, offering our expertise and assistance to private enterprises, foundations and associations, as well as to municipalities and other public or mixed-ownership companies.

We answer legal questions and help draw up contracts, clauses for employees and personnel handbooks, all adjustable to the needs of your particular business.  We also offer expert assistance in negotiations, e.g. on mass redundancies, the transfer or acquisition of undertakings, collective bargaining, etc. – all drawing on our proven track record of advising on cases involving, for example, collective bargaining agreements and major organisational changes. We also advise on conflict resolution and negotiation tactics, always giving priority to anticipating potential conflicts so as to be able to prevent or defuse them.

Sometimes conflict is inevitable – but to us, no employment law conflict is well-resolved if afterwards the parties cannot look each other in the eye.  We are happy to take up the fight but we also make sure to advise about possible alternative solutions and take the commercial implications into due consideration.
