Overview

Members of Jadek & Pensa employment team work as counsellors for employers regarding all questions of labour law, either by preparing a legal opinion or by finding solutions to existing problems. In preparing internal acts of companies, which regulate the field of employment, employment contracts and managerial contracts, we comply with 10 universal principles of the UN Global Compact and take care that the respect of human rights and labour standards is addressed in a balanced manner. We also provide trainings, making sure that the purpose of their adoption has been achieved and minimalizing the number of violations.

We also assist clients in negotiations with trade unions and works councils and advise them on larger reorganisations, larger dismissals and on restructuring procedures (either as part of insolvency procedures or regular reorganisation) and perform labour law mediation between employers and employees, which is focused on maintaining and improving the employment relationship.

Our firm also provides assistance with regard to the correct implementation and lawfulness of procedures for termination of employment contracts, which is the key prerequisite to succeed in individual and collective labour disputes, within the framework of which, among others, the rights and obligations of employees are dealt with.

We also advise employees in cases of discriminatory practices of employees, mobbing and in general, when the rights of employees are being violated.
