EMPLOYMENT LAW
In an increasingly dynamic employment environment, which is exposed to constant legislative and jurisprudential changes, our team offers comprehensive advice on employment and social security matters, as well as labour management services, both in the public and private sectors. We advise on collective bargaining procedures and, in particular, on collective dismissal proceedings, temporary lay-off proceedings, and collective agreements, and we design tailor-made protocols on sexual and gender-based harassment, digital disconnection, teleworking and equality plans. We also manage international labour mobility files. We have extensive experience in managing and representing our clients in administrative and judicial proceedings, providing them at all times with a practical and up-to-date approach and proposing effective solutions in order to strengthen their competitiveness.
