Our Employment Law attorneys work very closely with our Company Law attorneys, during mergers and acquisitions to ensure that the status of the staff is given the importance that it deserves. They can help to itemise your objectives and advise on the most efficient and effective means of achieving them. Things to be taken into account include: contact with the works council and/or trade unions; harmonization of the terms of employment and benefits; mobility and mass or voluntary redundancies.

Sometimes only the transfer of assets occurs. In such instances there is often a duty to continue employment of the affected staff in the new organisation according to their terms of employment and benefits, which may be at odds with your own. In such instances, our attorneys possess the necessary expertise and experience to guide you through the necessary processes and ensure that your interests are safeguarded.
