Our Firm provides ongoing legal support to HR functions and senior management, assisting companies of all sizes — from SMEs to large multinational groups — in managing their workforce at every stage of the employment relationship.
Our approach is focused on risk prevention: identifying areas of exposure before they generate disputes, and ensuring that internal processes, contracts and procedures are legally sound and up to date.
Hiring & Employment Contracts
The contractual framework of the employment relationship is the company's first line of legal protection. Well-drafted contracts clarify mutual expectations, define rights and obligations, and significantly reduce the risk of future disputes.
Our Firm advises companies on selecting the most appropriate engagement model for their organisational needs — employment, co.co.co., agency, consultancy, etc. — and drafts all types of contracts for every category: executives, managers, white-collar and blue-collar employees. We also prepare special and atypical contracts: part-time agreements, fixed-term contracts, agency work, apprenticeship.
Particular attention is given to ancillary agreements of strategic importance: non-compete and fidelity agreements, non-disclosure and confidentiality clauses, stability agreements, and employee invention agreements. Our Firm also provides assistance in contract certification procedures — for employment contracts, service agreements and individual clauses. This instrument confers legal certainty on the relationship and reduces the risk of reclassification by the labour inspectorate or the courts.

Managing the Employment Relationship
Day-to-day workforce management requires constant legal oversight. Decisions on duties, remuneration, transfers and disciplinary proceedings have immediate legal consequences and, if not handled correctly, can lead to costly and protracted disputes.
Our Firm supports HR functions in managing all aspects of the ongoing employment relationship: assignment and variation of duties, individual transfers, domestic and international secondments, payment of top-up salaries and benefits, incentive plans. We assist companies throughout disciplinary proceedings — from the initial charge to the imposition of the sanction — ensuring compliance with the procedures set out in the Workers' Statute and applicable collective agreements.
We also advise on issues of growing operational importance: workplace privacy, remote monitoring of employees, use of company IT tools, and the protection of employees' personal data in compliance with the GDPR.

Termination & Exit Management
Termination of employment is the stage of greatest exposure to litigation risk. Correct management — both procedurally and in terms of negotiation — allows the company to protect its interests and resolve situations efficiently, minimising the adverse consequences of potential disputes.
Our Firm advises companies on all forms of termination: individual dismissals for objective and subjective justified reason and for just cause, management of resignations, and consensual termination agreements. We prepare dismissal letters and assist throughout the entire process preceding and following the act, including management of the notice period and any out-of-court challenges.
In out-of-court proceedings, our Firm assists companies in negotiations aimed at reaching settlement agreements and conciliation minutes, including before the competent labour authorities, with the objective of achieving agreed solutions that reduce the risk of future litigation.
Contact us for a preliminary assessment or for assistance in a dismissal procedure.
