Specialisms:
The firm’s dedicated labour and employment focus enables it to offer significant capabilities across the gamut of related issues, from employment contracts through to representation before the Italian Supreme Court.
As part of its offering, the firm advises on the employment ramifications of strategic corporate projects, including M&A and restructurings.
Meanwhile, the boutique demonstrates skill in contentious mandates, including in allegations raised by trade unions.
For example, the team acted for Adecco on a claim before a Venice court against three former members of staff accused of taking trade secrets to a competitor.
Delicate internal investigations are another area of practice for the group, including those involving highly sensitive allegations with criminal law ramifications.
Meanwhile, the boutique supports several major clients with day-to-day HR matters, including dismissals, disciplinary proceedings, and modifications of working relationships.
Other areas of expertise include issues relating to senior executives, immigration, smart working, health and safety, D&I, pensions, and social security.
