International labour and social security law, delegation and hiring of employees
For years, we have not only been assisting businesses with human resources management and employment-related legal issues, but also we have guided our clients through the complex nuances of cross-border work and delegation.
We investigate and resolve complicated international issues related to the posting of employees to various European jurisdictions as well as to third countries for our clients.
We take care of the compliance of clients using companies from other European countries that delegate employees from other member states or from outside the European Union to our clients’ foreign assignment projects. In this context, we are able to provide advice not only on labour law, but also on social security issues and income taxation. Our specialists coordinate the delegation of employees for large multinationals providing services in multiple jurisdictions.
Thanks to our extensive network of partner law firms, we are able to coordinate policies related to HR documentation, terms and conditions of employment for placements in most European jurisdictions. We have unique expertise in the cross-border provision of services, bringing together legal expertise not only in civil law but also in public law and related tax law issues.
We advise on the terms and conditions of employment in cross-border postings, the related aspects of appropriate hiring policies and the drafting of HR documentation, assist in the resolution of disputes with employees, trade unions, labour inspectorates in various jurisdictions and provide litigation representation.
