Employment and Labour Law

Practice area
At a time when labour market rules frequently change and become increasingly complex, it is Plesner's job to ensure that our clients can continue to operate efficiently for the company's long-term success as well as for the desire for social stability.

At Plesner, providing advice on employment and labour law issues is fundamental to support our client's daily operations and strategic planning. Our team collaborates closely with clients to create balanced and efficient working conditions encouraging the company's operation, productivity and results as well as the employees' job satisfaction. Our in-depth knowledge of our clients' specific requirements and challenges enables us to prepare tailored solutions which carefully consider industry-specific and company-specific requirements.

Corporate accountability is a cornerstone of the advice Plesner provides. We advise on best practice in terms of good management and ensure that employment and labour law decisions support our client's long-term targets and ethical standards. This covers a wide field from complex employment contracts and incentive programmes to mass dismissals and navigation in the legal aspects of national and international company transfers.

Risk management is embedded in all work we do at Plesner. We have profound knowledge of our clients and by anticipating potential employment and labour law issues and addressing them proactively, we help companies minimise risks that might pose a threat to stability and growth. Our strategic approach to compliance and the companies' duties in relation to employees enables our clients to focus on their core business while Plesner deals with the legal details.

Employment and labour law can rarely stand alone. Plesner's interdisciplinary approach combines employment and labour law expertise with other legal disciplines. That way, we ensure the wider responsibilities supporting our clients' general and overall objectives. We make sure that the law does not stand alone but that commercial interests are also considered.
