Employment & Benefits
A trusted partner with an integrated approach
Our Employment & Benefits Team advises on the full spectrum of complex employment issues including litigation and dispute resolution, (European) works councils and unions and the employment aspects of corporate transactions. We advise and represent companies in respect of (collective) dismissals, reorganizations, national and European co-determination, Collective Labor Agreements (CAOs), flexible and temporary employment relationships, drafting and negotiating employment contracts, agency and contractor arrangements, secondment, corporate governance and boardroom and senior executive issues.
Cost effective, hands-on and experienced
Through an open-minded and analytical approach, our Employment Team works in close partnership with its clients at board and management level to help with employment and co-determination related matters. Our experience enables us to act quickly and analyse problems in response to recent case law and developments.
We advise on major corporate transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, outsourcing, restructurings and management buy-outs. At a strategic level, we advise our clients on employment terms and conditions, health and safety in the workplace, and disputes. We also regularly act for members of management and boards of directors, including statutory directors. Whether it concerns the negotiation of employment terms, the drafting of management agreements, or guiding executives through a departure. Furthermore, we have extensive litigation experience, including in relation to individual and collective redundancy matters and the enforcement of restrictive covenants such as non-compete clauses. Works councils can equally rely on us. We advise and support works councils on co-determination, consultation and approval procedures, and other matters at the intersection of employment and organisational law. We also act for employers in their dealings with works councils and trade unions.
As matters of strategic employment law involve legal aspects outside traditional employment law, we regularly work in close partnership with our regulatory, tax, corporate, corporate governance and civil notary specialists.
Our Employment Team advises both domestic and international corporate clients and multinationals, as well as individual directors and executives.
