Disturbed labour relations and unsatisfactory performance on the part of employees frequently involve protracted proceedings that require regular consultations. Another possibility is that incidents or situations arise in which immediate measures must be taken, such as suspension or summary dismissal.
The considerable interests involved and the complex nature of
the matter often render expert assistance essential. Our lawyers
specialising in employment law can provide you with such
assistance. They will take pragmatic action and focus on achieving
fast solutions.
Competition disputes
Disputes between employees and employers on non-competition clauses
may also arise. Although such disputes are frequently settled by
the parties themselves, they often lead to court proceedings as
well. Our employment law specialists regularly assist employers as
well as employees in this type of matter.
Litigation
Specialisation with respect to content alone is no longer
sufficient in many cases. Even procedural law requires
specialisation nowadays; this is partly due to the fact that courts
are taking an increasingly active part. This tendency is reinforced
by the recent trend towards claims and the subsequent work load for
the judiciary. That is why it is so important to make the right
strategic choices at an early stage, not only in order to conduct
successful proceedings, but also primarily in order to avoid
litigation if possible.
If legal proceedings are inevitable in spite of everything, AKD's
lawyers have exactly the right combination of specialist knowledge
and experience in procedural law at their disposal. Litigation is
our core business. We have the rules of the game, the techniques
and the nuances of litigation practice at our fingertips, and we
combine this expertise with our specialised knowledge of all areas
of employment law.
