Employment and social security law

Almost any kind of business involves hiring staff. People are employed to strengthen a firm’s position on the market on a daily basis. Nonetheless, employment and ongoing handling of employment relationship issues involves a number of formalities that the HR department is not always able to deal with. Long-term advisory eliminates the increasing likelihood that a labor dispute will arise and put the employer at the risk of significant financial costs when compensation has to be paid.

In addition to the financial losses, if human resources issues are not dealt with comprehensively, this can harm an employer’s prestige. The professional legal services we provide strengthen financial security and market image by guaranteeing that the company’s interests are fully protected.

When a dispute arises with an employee in court or before a public authority, we can also provide all-embracing representation. We have a long track record of representing clients before common and administrative courts, the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Administrative Court.
