Labour and employment law is a strong practice area for the firm and is closely associated with its corporate practice. Our employment team offers advice to local and international corporations on issues connected with both individual and collective dimensions of labour law. These include the drafting of employment contracts and providing legal advice and legal representation regarding international transfer of employees, termination of employment, structuring of employee incentives and private pension schemes or stock-option plans, employee discrimination issues in the working environment, general industrial relations, employment health and safety and issues that normally arise in light of a transfer of undertakings through sale or otherwise, negotiations with trade unions, collective disputes and the drafting of collective labour agreements.

The firm has represented major companies before the Supreme Administrative Court and the ECJ on labor law issues.
