Temporary lay-offs and redundancy procedures are regularly handled by its team, often acting for well-known clients from the retail and hospitality sectors. DLA Piper is also highly active in contentious issues, with a particularly strong caseload relating to individual terminations. Defending sanctions proceedings and civil claims relating to workplace accidents and assisting with harassment investigations also fall within the firm's expertise. With its strength in labour aspects of M&A transactions and restructurings, DLA Piper complements its offering.
