  • Corporate governance and board matters
  • Employee hiring and dismissal
  • Employee investigations, collective redundancies and discrimination claims
  • Protection of business from theft or data leaks
  • Employment aspects of M&As
  • Strategies for managing employment costs, including redundancies, salary freezes, reduced working hours and pension rights
  • Corporate restructuring, post-acquisition integration issues and cross-border mergers
  • Industrial disputes
  • The impact of technology on the workplace
  • Incentive plans
  • Regulatory pressure on executive pay
  • Designing, drafting and implementation of plans, e.g. corporate governance and share plans
  • Global incentive plans (including instructing local counsels abroad)
  • Establishment and administration of whistleblower arrangements, examination of reports received under the arrangements, etc.
  • Outsourcing, including outsourcing of facility management and IT services.

Our experience covers largely all sectors, including the public sector and the semi-public sector, and we have extensive experience in litigating before all relevant courts and instances.
