Companies operating at a global level are faced with additional legal obstacles when it comes to employment law in Europe.

Our team of more than 500 specialists located in 44 countries is fully equipped to help clients achieve their objectives through the design of tailored solutions for complex and sensitive issues in all jurisdictions where required, including collective bargaining, advice on business restructuring and transfers of undertakings, as well as the defence of our clients before the Labour Courts.
