Support and defence for employees

Contract, termination and end of collaboration

• Would you like your employment contract reviewed before signing?

  We analyse your clauses (remuneration, bonuses, non-compete clauses, etc.) and advise you on your rights and obligations.

• Has your employer proposed termination by mutual agreement, but you are unsure whether it is in your interest?

  We assess the offer and determine with you how to negotiate better terms.

• Do you want to resign?

  We explain the notice period you must observe and the consequences of your resignation.

• Do you want to challenge your dismissal (on manifestly unreasonable, wrongful or discriminatory grounds) or check your payment in lieu of notice?

  We analyse the reasons given and bring proceedings before the labour tribunal if you may be entitled to compensation.

Discrimination, harassment and well-being at work

• Are you a victim of discrimination or harassment? Are you being sidelined because of burnout?

  We listen to you and first guide you towards the appropriate internal steps (prevention adviser, confidential counsellor), advise you on your options and, if necessary, compile the evidence, refer the matter to the labour prosecutor or initiate proceedings if you may be entitled to compensation.

• Have your working conditions changed during or after pregnancy? Would you like to take time credit or parental leave?

  We advise you on your rights and defend you if they are not respected.

Professional status

• Is your status unclear? Do you think you are falsely classified as self-employed?

  We analyse the criteria of subordination and, if necessary, submit an application to the Administrative Commission for the Settlement of Employment Relationships or bring reclassification proceedings before the labour tribunal.

• Have you suffered an accident at work?

  We check whether the statutory occupational accident insurer recognises the accident and defend you if recognition is refused or compensation is underestimated.

Executives, senior managers

• Are you negotiating an executive or management position? Would you like your non-compete clause, variable remuneration package (bonuses, stock options, warrants) or remuneration guarantee clause reviewed?

  We analyse and negotiate these clauses and defend their validity or application in disputes (contested non-compete clauses, deferred bonuses challenged after dismissal).

• Are you a senior executive being offered a negotiated severance payment?

  We assess the offer and negotiate the terms of your departure.

Negotiation or representation in court

Depending on your situation, we favour, whenever possible, a swift negotiated resolution of your dispute with your employer over lengthy and uncertain court proceedings. When negotiation is unsuccessful or inappropriate, we represent you and defend your rights before the labour tribunals and courts.
