As part of our cooperation within our specialised and dedicated group of employment lawyers from all over Europe, we regularly meet and discuss employment law topics of overall and international interest.

As a result of this, we have started to compile a series of short publications which deal with the respective questions in a concise way. These publications have a uniform format. They aim to give decision-makers from other jurisdictions a short and easily comprehensible overview over these matters.

These publications, downloadable free-of-charge, currently cover the topics of

Collective Redundancies
and Reorganisations

Some of the most important questions for employers who do business internationally are how they will be able to adapt their workforce to changing business needs.

Very often changes in internal strategy and the business environment necessitate restructurings and reorganisations of businesses. The respective employment law measures which may include collective redundancies follow rules which may substantially differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

The following high level overview documents were prepared by expert lawyers from the member law firms of our network. They shall give a short and easily comprehensively introduction into the situation in the respective jurisdiction.

Thus, restrictive covenants are of the utmost importance for employers. The following documents provide were prepared by expert lawyers from the member law firms of our network. They concentrate on the four main types of restrictive covenants in the respective jurisdiction:

  • Non-Compete
  • Non-Solicitation of Customers and Clients
  • Non-Dealing with Customers and Clients
  • Non-Poaching of Staff
