- Employment aspects of corporate projects (including due diligence processes and post-acquisition harmonisation exercises);
- Labor relations with employee representative bodies;
- Employment litigation; and
- Global mobility queries.
- Developing relationships with clients including gaining a good knowledge of the client’s businesses, economic drivers and market and sector requirements in order to ensure the advice is relevant and commercial.
- Engaging in business development activities, being active in the promotion of the firm and in identifying new opportunities.
- Working as part of a team includes assisting with the supervision of other lawyers and taking an active part in sharing knowledge and experience within the team.
- There are regular opportunities for secondments with clients and to other offices abroad under the firm's associate exchange programme.
