Employment matters

Give HR a legal partner for the questions that come up every week. We draft employment documents, advise on terminations and reorganizations, and prepare the response when an employee disputes a decision.

Scope & fees

Employment questions answered before they become disputes.

Terminations, absences, overtime and non-compete clauses come up in every company, often across several locations. Getting them right the first time costs far less than defending them later. We work with HR on the recurring cases and document the approach so the team can apply it consistently.

What we work on.

Employment documents

Offer letters, employment contracts, handbooks, bonus plans and restrictive covenants.

Terminations

Plan terminations, check notice and protected periods, and draft the notices and separation agreements.

Reorganizations

Plan restructurings and layoffs, including the notices, consultations and social plans the law requires.

Working time & absences

Advise on working time, overtime, leave, illness and other absences.

Employee data

Handle personnel files, monitoring and access requests from employees.

Disputes

Assess claims, negotiate settlements and represent you before agencies and courts.

How the work unfolds.

  1. Understand the case

    Review the facts, the contract and the applicable rules.

  2. Advise

    Set out the options, risks and the recommended route.

  3. Draft

    Prepare the letters, agreements or internal documents.

  4. Follow through

    Support HR until the case is closed or settled.

Urgent terminations and protected-period questions can usually be answered the same or the next business day. Reorganizations are planned around your timeline.

Scope agreed.
Fees made clear.

Repeatable cases such as terminations and separation agreements have the same fixed price every time. Larger projects get a fixed quote before work begins.

What shapes the fee

  • Number of employees and locations
  • Whether the matter is disputed
  • Collective agreements that apply

Budgeted separately

Court and agency fees and representation before a court are quoted separately.
