Our experience covers representation in contentious cases such as unfair dismissal, disciplinary action and breach of contract, but also advises on non-litigious matters such as negotiation of collective bargaining agreements, executive service agreements, fiscal employment optimization (including secondment arrangements), and internal regulations. We routinely advise on employment-related matters in the context of M&A transactions, including requirements regarding personnel and trade unions.

The firm’s labor practice has also expanded to include white collar crime elements.  We have been engaged on several occasions by the foreign headquarters of multinational companies to pursue actions and protect company interests against rogue employees, as well as conduct investigations as to potential breaches of applicable anti-bribery legislation.

Our labor team headed by Anca Zegrean advises a large number of clients on routine employment matters, such as reviewing and revising standard labor agreements, internal labor regulations, compliance with labor code matters and health and safety requirements, etc. Considering the new regulations addressing the equal treatment and harassment at work, we’ve assisted employers to adapt their internal regulation and working environment to the new legal requirements.
