Employment and Labour Law

At Plesner, providing advice on employment and labour law issues is fundamental to support our clients' daily operations and strategic planning. Our team collaborates closely with clients to create balanced and efficient working conditions encouraging the company's operation, productivity and results as well as the employees' job satisfaction. To many clients, our team acts as their external strategic and trusted legal advisor on a continuous basis, covering the full spectrum of day-to-day and more complex employment and labour law needs. Our in-depth knowledge of our clients' specific requirements and challenges enables us to prepare tailored solutions which carefully consider industry-specific and company-specific requirements.

Corporate accountability is a cornerstone of the advice Plesner provides. We advise on best practice in terms of good management and ensure that employment and labour law decisions support our clients' long-term targets and ethical standards. This covers a wide field from complex employment contracts and incentive programmes to mass dismissals, management restructuring and navigation in the legal aspects of national and international business transfers, IPOs as well as advising across all aspects of collective labour law.

Risk management is embedded in all work we do at Plesner. We have profound knowledge of our clients and by anticipating potential employment and labour law issues and addressing them proactively, we help companies minimise risks that might pose a threat to stability and growth. Our strategic approach to compliance enables our clients to focus on their core business while Plesner deals with the legal details.

Employment and labour law can rarely stand alone. Plesner's interdisciplinary approach combines employment and labour law expertise with other legal disciplines. By way of example, this includes the cross-practice area between employment law and data protection legislation, where the lawfulness of processing employees' personal data is often at stake. We also have special expertise in establishing internal whistleblower schemes for clients, and the performance of related tasks such as the preparation of various policies,receipt and screening of whistleblower reports, and assistance in any investigation matters.

By combining our employment and labour law expertise with insights from related legal disciplines, we ensure that our legal advice supports our clients' overall objectives and that commercial interests are always taken into account.
