The correct handling of employment-related issues throughout the lifespan of the employment relationship is critical to the core business aims of attracting, managing, incentivising and retaining talent on the one hand and mitigating risk on the other.
Our clients come to us for advice on a wide range of employment issues including complex industrial relations, matters involving trade unions and work councils, complex transactions and restructurings, board-room matters and other strategic issues, as well as day to day HR queries.
We routinely deploy teams that are specific to our client's needs, combining local market and legal knowledge with multi-jurisdictional expertise supported by our global presence across Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, the UK and the US.
As described by a client in Chambers Global 2024: "Herbert Smith Freehills are able to get under the skin of our business. They are at the cutting edge, handling novel issues as well as being a very well-oiled machine, extremely thorough and pleasant to deal with. They have an excellent service ethos."
