LABOUR LAW

• Employment agreements. An employment agreement is the foundation of employment relationships, therefore the content of employment agreements you choose – appropriate definition of rights and duties – is especially important. Such definition may prevent from future implications or, on the contrary, become a large concern. We represent our clients throughout every stage of drafting, performance and termination of employment agreements. We draft both individual and collective bargaining agreements, we advise on including specific and tailored terms and conditions as well as on determining working hours and salaries.
• Drafting local legal acts. As the legal regulation of employment relationships is becoming more modern, more freedom is granted to mutual agreements between employers and employees, where matters related to employment relationships are discussed. Very often the provisions of legal acts and conclusion of the employment agreement alone do not suffice to resolve all possible issues. Internal legal acts such as policies of employment relationships, rules on work procedures, descriptions of working conditions and job descriptions are given a more significant role. The stipulation of duties and rights which are well thought through in these and other local legal acts helps to avoid serious misunderstandings in the future as well as guarantee continuous high-quality work, therefore we can offer our clients the services of drafting, reviewing, altering, revoking all internal legal acts and counselling on related matters.
• Due diligence. We will review your business model in terms of all aspects of labour law and we will evaluate any negative effects on business development and continuity. We will help to eliminate all potential risks and we will advise on using potential opportunities so that the welfare of your interests is ensured. Juridicon's lawyers have extensive experience in conducting such due diligence and they are able to provide high-quality and comprehensive counselling over all aspects related to optimisation of employment relationships as well as resolve labour law issues in cases of mergers and acquisitions.
• Representation in individual and collective labour disputes. Our goal is to ensure that you avoid any labour disputes and, provided they have arisen, you win them. We represent our clients in all relationships with trade unions and other representatives of employees, we defend their interests in courts of all instances and in other institutions where disputes are settled.  We also provide mediation services to guarantee the balance of interests.
• Posting of employees. Irrespective of whether you are going to establish a new company, expand your business or simply carry out your activities in the country, it is likely that sooner or later you will encounter matters related to posting of employees or agency workers. Travels and business trips have been the necessity and mundanity of international business for a long time, therefore the knowledge of the legal regulation in terms of the posting of employees is also significant in ensuring the adherence to legal acts and performance of obligations. At the clients' request, we draft agreements and documentation of a business trip in several languages. We help resolve tax-related issues in cooperation with tax specialists.
• Agency workers. The specifics of business often requires to hire employees of certain qualifications and experience, that is why companies are looking for them in foreign countries. Our clients often need to look for employees in other EU member states or other countries, therefore we are experienced and we are able to provide qualified legal aid when looking for employees and hiring them as well as when handling other issues, for instance, relocation or migration of employees' families.

Labour law is a dynamic area of law, therefore it is very important to follow all news and realities of legal regulations so that employees' rights are not violated and employers' interests are properly defended. If a company has commercial goals, such side activity may be a distraction, be time and cost consuming, therefore we can do this work for you – we will review already concluded employment agreements, we will evaluate them and offer our proposals with respect to their application if the needs change. The specifics of work, its nature and variety of sectors often mean that it is necessary to conclude additional agreements on non-competitiveness, commitment not to entice clients or confidentiality alongside with the employment agreement. We advise our clients on the conclusion of such agreements, determination of compensations, their payments and termination or violations thereof.
