Employment

Employment issues are some of the most complex and important matters that any organisation faces, as relations between the employee and the employer as well as relations between the employees may substantially affect productivity and undermine the workplace culture. Given the economic downturn, legal counselling in connection with amending and termination of employment contracts as well as restructuring of employers has become particularly valuable.

The employment law team’s practice includes advising on the individual and collective employment aspects of mergers and acquisitions, executive remuneration as well as issues of emplyee loyalty, non-competition and confidentiality arrangements.
