European Employment Law

The development of EC-wide employment law and social policy means that companies need to consider and formulate their human resources and personnel strategies on a pan-European scale.

Baker & McKenzie, with its unrivalled network of established offices throughout Europe and the rest of the world, has long recognised this need. We know that effective and practical employment law advice on a European country cannot be given unless the adviser is based and experienced in that jurisdiction and has a European perspective of employment law.

In addition to servicing our clients' employment law needs in our own jurisdictions, the employment law specialists in our practice group also work together in advising multinational clients on issues such as plant closures, re-organisations in several European countries, European Works Councils, developing pan-European human resources policies, and enforcing "non-compete" restrictions in several jurisdictions. Since we are a global firm, we share the same common purpose of servicing our clients effectively, efficiently and creatively.
