• Employment Contracts: Crafting clear employment contracts is crucial in setting terms, expectations, and legal boundaries between employers and employees. We produce meticulous, well-structured employment contracts addressing key aspects of the employment relationship including confidentiality, non-competition and termination terms as well as any industry-specific concerns in clear, simple language.
• Workplace Policies and Regulations: Staying compliant with the ever-evolving employment laws in Cyprus is imperative in avoiding legal pitfalls. We develop comprehensive workplace policies that are compliant with all relevant Cyprus and European laws and regulations on issues ranging from anti-discrimination and harassment policies to health and safety protocols, IT policies and employee privacy and confidentiality.
• Dispute Resolution and Employment Litigation: Our team is adept at prompting and handling the negotiated resolution of employment disputes out-of-Court. Where an amicable resolution is unavailable, we stand ready to resolve matters through litigation, and we regularly act in employment disputes both before the Cyprus Industrial Disputes Court and all District Courts. We strive for cost-effective solutions minimizing business disruption, and whether through the Court system or through negotiated compromise, our team will work relentlessly to protect your rights and reputation.
• Restructuring and termination of employment: Navigating the legal intricacies behind any restructuring, including planned downsizing or unplanned terminations of employment is vital to mitigate risks and potential legal challenges. Our experts guide you through the process, ensuring proper termination procedures and severance negotiations.
