We specialize in issues relating to rights and claims under labour law. Our experts provide legal advice to employees and employers – for individuals and legal entities.
Labour law is the basic regulation that establishes rules for determining the duties and enforcing the responsibilities of both the company and the employees. The detailed provisions expressed in individual employment contracts must be in accordance with its spirit, and the fulfilment of the content of the contracts is the responsibility of both parties. For years, we have been supporting our clients in legal issues in the area of employer-employee relations.
Well-prepared, multifaceted and motivating employment contracts are the basis for the fruitful operation of companies and the satisfaction of bosses and their subordinates.
We draft general contract templates for companies and individual management contracts with non-competition provisions. We represent clients in disputes, negotiations and mediations. We prepare the foundations for creative and satisfactory cooperation within companies, and reduce the risk of disputes arising. We also help resolve conflict situation if they do arise.
Our lawyers support clients operating within the Polish labour law, but are also specialists in international labour law regulations – are especially conversant in German law.
