WHAT
WE DO

We provide advice to employers in various sectors, from manufacturing to IT and services. We focus on gathering relevant domain knowledge to closely understand client needs. This means engaging and collaborating with the client to better devise practical solutions for their particular employment law issues, within the framework of the law.

We also keep our clients updated and aware of those developments in the law that are relevant to their business, circulating alerts and highlighting changes and important case laws that indicate developing jurisprudence. Following through on our hands–on approach, we regularly conduct sessions with legal/HR teams to help them understand these changes in the law, which is especially appreciated by our clients.
