Employment

Ensuring compliance with employment legislation is an ever growing challenge for organisations. Companies must act quickly to adapt to the new regulations and cases that regularly alter the legal landscape.

At the same time, businesses are developing more complex HR arrangements involving a greater reliance on outsourced services, a more geographically mobile and flexible workforce, and increasingly sophisticated reward plans.

We work with our clients to advise on individual disputes as well as projects to ensure that company and its workforce are working within the law. The team has substantial skill and know-how in handling the employment issues that arise out of new business challenges as well as mergers and acquisitions, executive terminations and policy compliance.

We are part of a network advising on employment law in more than 40 countries, giving us a genuinely global reach. We also work with professionals in the Human Resource Services group of PricewaterhouseCoopers. This means we deliver services in an integrated and multi-disciplinary way. Our advice will therefore underpin the tax and social security planning in any situation.
