Employment Law

2. Preparation and negotiation of collective agreements

Collective labour relations have many specific features, and our firm’s lawyers frequently assist companies and staff representatives in their negotiations, as well as in drafting and reviewing collective agreements to ensure that they comply with the Luxembourg legal framework.

3. Managing employment disputes and litigation for companies

Our law firm represents employers and employees before the labour courts in Luxembourg.

In particular, we act in cases of dismissal, whether to assist employers in drafting a letter of termination or a letter of motives, or to advise on the termination of an employment contract by mutual agreement.

Our lawyers can represent you in unfair dismissal proceedings or help you prepare for mass redundancies.

4. Assisting employees in the event of resignation or dismissal

Our law firm can help you establish the best strategy for requesting grounds for dismissal, contesting the termination of your employment contract, negotiating a settlement agreement, or even bringing an action for unfair dismissal.

We can also advise you on the rules to be observed in the event of resignation and help you assert your rights in the event of the company’s bankruptcy (determining the amounts guaranteed, preparing a statement of claim, etc.).

5. Workplace accidents and handling special situations

Our lawyers will be able to advise you in situations involving secondment, restructuring with or without transfer, leave, accidents in the workplace or moral or sexual harassment.

The latest legislative developments with an impact on safety at work or well-being at work, such as the right to disconnect, are also cases in which we can help you to understand the rights and obligations arising therefrom, so that you can organise policies and programmes (e.g. by updating internal regulations) focusing on mental health, stress prevention and the promotion of general well-being at work.

We can also advise you on how to deal with claims for back pay and overtime, as well as clarifying the legal implications in the event of prolonged or repeated periods of illness, or when faced with situations involving internal/external reclassification or the granting of disability pensions.

6. Social security law

Our firm regularly advises and assists employers in implementing their social security obligations.

The firm’s lawyers also represent employers and employees in disputes before arbitration bodies and social security bodies.
