From our office in Brussels, we counsel employers on a wide range of labor and employment matters, including the defense of claims, collective bargaining and advice on Works Council matters, representation before government agencies, audits and training.
We have extensive experience advising our clients on mergers and acquisitions. Our team’s background at major international law firms includes the HR aspects of both national and cross-border corporate transactions and restructurings. We perform due diligence processes and advise our clients on relevant HR and employment law-related issues. We identify potential noncompliance risks, and also translate these into the relevant transactional documents and recommend suitable solutions to remedy the identified issues pre- or post-closing where appropriate.
We regularly assist clients with planning and executing mass layoffs and reorganizations in general, within or outside the context of corporate transactions. We often are involved directly in discussions and negotiations with the workforce, employee representative bodies (such as works councils) and external unions.
Our team has extensive experience in the field of unfair dismissal and discrimination cases.
Our team regularly assists clients with questions related to privacy at work. We help our clients comply with privacy rules, including the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
