    Redundancies and terminations

Our experts will assist you throughout the process (including out-of-court negotiations, drafting of termination agreements, design of severance packages, social plans, advice on garden leave and mass redundancy rules, etc.).

    (International) Remote work

    In our globalized world, remote work is the new normal. Whether you are modernizing a remote work policy or thinking about hiring employees in other countries, understanding the legal implications of remote work is key. We help you mitigate legal risks and find the right set-up for your company.

Our experts can help you understand different contractual arrangements, how to protect the employer’s interests, and how to find the best option for your organization’s and employees’ needs.

    HR due diligences 

    What HR topics do employers need to be aware of during M&A transactions? We conduct HR due diligences for sellers and buyers by identifying risks related to workforce structure, HR processes, compensation and benefits, labor law compliance, disputes, labor inspections, and social security audits.

    Rewards 

    How can employers attract and retain employees through their remuneration schemes? Our multidisciplinary teams can help you review, design and implement a variety of compensation programs (e.g. employee share plans or bonus plans), benefit schemes and salary structures.
