About

Provided by Eversheds Sutherland

Our employment practice provides pragmatic and solution-oriented approach. We strive to understand our client’s businesses and priorities in order to be able to provide commercially reasonable solutions, rather than simply offer abstract legal advice. In recent years, our workload has significantly increased, and our employment practice has expanded across clients and sectors. Considering the specifics of the economic environment in EU and worldwide, we expect that these tendencies will continue throughout 2025 and beyond.

As part of a global law firm, we assist businesses with multi-jurisdictional employment projects. Our team is specialised in everyday employment compliance, drafting and negotiating employment and executive contracts, remuneration systems and share/share option schemes, employee privacy, confidentiality and non-competition issues, discrimination and whistleblowing concerns and related compliance, personal data protection, health and safety at work, disciplinary breaches, individual dismissals, as well as in project-oriented assistance including employment set-up and reorganisation, international mobility, employment aspects of transfer of undertakings.
