As a law firm, we understand that labour law is particularly important for every business.
We help our clients implement employment-related laws and regulations. They are of essential importance for every single company and should be tailored to its business needs already at the stage of planning the first recruitments. By exercising caution early on, businesses can stay out of trouble in the event of a possible audit by a public inspection body. We always try to understand your business approach. We believe that in order to prepare optimal solutions, a lawyer must think like an entrepreneur.
We offer comprehensive legal assistance in the field of labour law and help you identify the best possible form of employment (also for board members and top managers). We will also be happy to advise you on internal regulations (including working and wages regulations) and in-company anti-mobbing and anti-discrimination policies. In addition, we draft documents, expert reports and opinions in the field of labour law.
While we are based in Poznań, we provide labour law services throughout Poland.
Legal advice
For employers – our lawyers will support you and help you understand the intricacies of labour law and the obligations you have towards your employees and co-workers, including those employed under B2B contracts. Our team is always there for you, providing professional advice and suggestions to keep you safe and relaxed in the event of a labour inspection.
For HR managers – HR managers are often expected to be knowledgeable and skilled in virtually everything. Empathy, understanding team needs, and taking care of the company’s business – all at the same time! On top of that, they also need to know how to break bad news to some of the staff. The list of responsibilities is long and challenging at times. Our team will support your HR managers, taking the load off when it comes to the legal aspects of employment. We will make sure that labour law is adhered to, that internal regulations and policies are up to date and that training needs are taken care of.
For board members and top managers – we assist top managers and board members in securing and exercising their contractual and statutory rights.
