Employment and migration law

The sustainable and successful development of a business is directly dependent on an effective personnel structure and is impossible without employment and organisational relations being legally formalised in a competent manner.

This is the reason why HR-related issues require special consideration and are relevant at any stage of a company’s development. Efficient legal mechanisms regulating relations between a company and its employees enable the company to mitigate existing legal risks and are key to the reliability and success of the business.
