Employment law and HR matters
Companies and employees inevitably encounter labor law issues. Labor law defines the rules and conditions under which an employer can utilize the work input of its employees.
The legislation and contractual framework regarding work and its execution are a broad and complex set of regulations. Although there is contractual freedom between employers and employees in employment matters, this freedom is significantly restricted by legislation and collective agreements. Comprehensive mastery of labor legislation and industry-specific legal practices is required to navigate the complex regulation of the workplace. We assist in challenging situations where companys’ own skills may not be sufficient to achieve the best outcome.
Examples of our expertise in labor law include:
- Employment contracts and executive employment and CEO contracts
- Non-compete agreements and confidentiality obligations
- Obligations under the Co-operation within Undertakings Act (YT-law) and negotiation processes related to changes
- Termination and dismissal situations and negotiations about terms
- Termination situations under executive employment and CEO contracts
- Labor law disputes or employment dispute resolution processes
- Occupational safety and occupational health issues
- Privacy protection in the workplace
- Labor law consultation
We recommend reaching out to our lawyers when a company is considering termination of employment agreement or workforce reduction. Making mistakes in these matters can be unexpectedly costly for the company, as labor legislation is generally interpreted in favor of the employee.
