EMPLOYMENT & LABOUR
With a reputable track record in diverse sectors of the economy (industry, services, health and aeronautics), our Employment and Labour Department understands the client’s needs, in light of the constantly changing market.
We assess the specific case directly with our clients and deliver the most viable solutions both from a structural and from a financial perspective.
We provide legal assistance in all areas related to labour law and that of social security, aiding clients in all issues related with individual and collective recruitment.
As each client requires specific counsel, we design a strategy for each case, representing the client in all negotiations necessary, both before workers or their representatives and the syndicates and employer associations.
The vast experience we have in litigation enables us to defend our clients in any legal actions arising out of labour relationships.
We have led some corporate restructuring operations and M&A, having been acknowledged in these areas in prestigious international publications, such as “LEGAL 500” and, with regard to Tax Law, in “UK and European Legal Experts”.
