Employment law is an important part of our services. We advise both entrepreneurs and individuals on employment contracts and management agreements, and freelancers on contracts of assignment.
We have experience across the full range of employment law and advise and negotiate on reorganizations, dismissals, employment contracts (for employees), assignment agreements (for freelancers and management agreements (for statutory directors), labor disputes and illness. Naturally, because of the sectors in which we work, we pay extra attention to properly regulating who ends up with the intellectual property rights.
For entrepreneurs
Employment law can be a maze: it’s usually not easily to deduct which part of the law is applicable and it’s often hard to see the logic behind the rules at first glance. For many entrepreneurs, this is a hindrance at times during which action is required. It often comes down to the specific circumstances of a case, while almost all rules are mandatory. Accidents can therefore lurk in a small corner.
In these complex matters, getting assistance from an experienced guide who guides you from the start is no luxury. We operate across the full range of employment law and negotiate with employees, unions and other parties to reach a good solution in every case. Even if going to court proves to be unavoidable, our lawyers offer support. We won’t provide you with lengthy legal analyses, but give you brief and clear advice that you can use immediately.
For individuals (employees, freelancers)
Sometimes things don’t go as planned. In case of a conflict with your employer or an impending dismissal, it is wise to seek legal assistance quickly: employees are protected by law and you want to make the best use of that protection. We negotiate to retain your job or, in case that’s not possible, to part ways properly and obtain fair or transition compensation. Whether by mutual agreement or by going to court.
Also in the event that you have already been fired but feel that the situation has not been handled reasonably, it is wise to obtain a quick assessment of the proper application of the law. In many dismissal cases, the right to take a case to court expires within two months. Our lawyers can help you act quickly and adequately.
