Labour Law:
Our team specialises in protecting the interests of both employees and employers, offering a comprehensive service that encompasses advisory and preventive consultancy as well as representation in labour disputes. Our goal is to ensure that employment relations comply with the current legislation, minimising risks and resolving conflicts efficiently.
Advisory and Preventive Consultancy
We provide preventive labour consultancy for companies and employees to avoid future disputes. For employers, our work involves reviewing and adjusting employment contracts, internal policies, and processes related to hiring, dismissals, holidays, working hours, and more. Our consultancy ensures compliance with labour laws, preventing liabilities and fines. For employees, we offer guidance on their rights in the workplace, ensuring they are well-informed and can act preventively in risk situations.
Employment Contracts
An employment relationship begins with a well-structured employment contract. Our team specialises in drafting, reviewing, and analysing contracts to ensure they comply with legal requirements and protect the interests of both employers and employees. We also assist in contract disputes, including disagreements over job roles, salaries, benefits, and labour rights.
Dismissals and Terminations
We assist companies and employees throughout the contract termination process, ensuring that all rights are respected and legal obligations are fulfilled. For employers, we provide guidance on different types of dismissal, whether with or without cause, or by mutual agreement, minimising the risk of future employment claims. For employees, we verify the correct payment of termination entitlements, such as notice pay, proportional holiday pay, redundancy payments, and other due compensations.
Overtime and Working Hours
Disputes over overtime pay and working hours are among the most common employment conflicts. Our team represents both employers and employees in matters relating to working hour control, time banks, overtime compensation, and compliance with employment regulations. We provide preventive solutions by implementing proper time-tracking policies and efficient work schedule management.
Employment Claims
When disputes between employers and employees cannot be resolved out of court, we are ready to represent our clients in employment tribunals. We act on behalf of employees seeking compensation for unpaid wages, unfair dismissal, workplace harassment, and work-related accidents. For employers, we focus on defending against employment claims, minimising financial risks, and developing strong legal defence strategies.
Workplace Harassment
Protection against workplace bullying and sexual harassment is a fundamental right. Our team provides guidance and representation for victims, pursuing legal and extrajudicial remedies. We also assist employers in implementing internal policies to prevent and address these issues, ensuring a safe and respectful work environment.
Collective Bargaining and Trade Union Relations
For employers dealing with trade unions, we offer legal support in collective bargaining agreements, ensuring compliance with collective agreements while safeguarding business interests. We also represent employees and trade unions in negotiations aimed at securing better working conditions, salary adjustments, and benefits.
Compensation for Work Accidents and Occupational Diseases
We assist employees in cases of work-related accidents and occupational diseases, ensuring they receive appropriate compensation through either legal action or social security benefits. For employers, we provide support in managing workplace accident cases, preventing future disputes, and implementing safety measures to ensure a healthier work environment.
Outsourcing and Temporary Employment Contracts
Outsourcing and temporary work arrangements are increasingly common in modern employment relationships. We provide expert consultancy on drafting and monitoring outsourcing and temporary employment contracts, ensuring they comply with legal requirements while safeguarding workers’ rights.
