Employment legal services

When doing business, every employer needs to hire and dismiss employees.

Often employers do not pay enough attention to this process. This leads to errors in documents, which may entail negative consequences for the employer during checks by the labour inspectorate, or even labour dispute trials.

Proper employment and dismissal procedures will help the company to avoid labour disputes, regulatory body claims, and minimize the risk of company executives being made personally accountable for any labour law violations.
