In the area of labor law and social security law, our experts have broad experience especially as regards advice in the following matters:

• origination of, changes to, and termination of employment relationships, including mass lay-offs;

• acquisition, relocation, and closing of plants and other business establishments, and the passage of rights and obligations from labor-law relationships from one employer to another;

• employment of managers and drafting manager agreements, including the pertinent tax implications;

• resolving "concurrence issues" (i.e., issues in connection with a person's parallel performance in an employment relationship and as a corporate officer of the same company);

• drafting anti-competition clauses;

• drafting internal employment policies;

• negotiations with employees in connection with cross-border mergers;

• drafting collective bargaining agreements and negotiating them with union representatives;

• review of liability issues in connection with employment relationships;

• creation of incentive programs for employees (e.g. in the form of stock option plans) and benefit programs;

• foreign assignments of employees;
