Employers and trade unions often have differing interests and perspectives. Building constructive relationships enables the effective resolution of disputes and conflicts, helping to avoid strikes, lockouts or protest actions. Employers should not become hostages to unions, as this negatively impacts both businesses and employees.

For our clients, we:

• Conduct audits of documentation and union activities, identifying issues and necessary actions.
• Challenge union membership numbers in cases of doubt and represent clients in court on such matters.
• Lead negotiations with trade unions, including during restructuring processes, group layoffs, amendments to collective labour agreements, and other regulatory changes.
• Develop strategies, prepare necessary documentation for collective disputes, and handle day-to-day employer-union relations.
• Manage collective disputes on behalf of employers.
• Represent clients in court cases involving union representatives, including criminal proceedings; in particular, in matters concerning the termination of employment contracts with union activists, disputes over the non-existence of collective disputes, or the hindrance of union activities.
• Prepare internal and external communications for employees, media, investors and other stakeholders.
