EMPLOYMENT
The Employment team provides proactive counselling to lead our clients through laws and
regulations governing employment matters.
Our underlying drive is to develop and implement employment policies designed to minimise
risk and avoid litigation for employers from all industries. However, when dispute becomes
inevitable, our lawyers seek to offer the best possible solutions promptly and effectively.
In today’s ever-changing global business climate, our Employment team has developed considerable
experience in employment aspects of multinational mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.
We provide legal advice to Turkish and international clients in their dealings and disputes with
employees, trade unions and governmental entities from various sectors.
We advise clients on all employment matters, including relations with sub-contractors, drafting
company regulations, preparation and implementation of employment contracts, and
non-competition agreements. We also offer routine and daily advice on methods for improving
employer-employee relations or maintaining a union-free environment. For our clients
whose employees are unionised, we provide assistance in all management aspects of union
relationships including application of collective labour agreements, grievances, and representation
before the labour courts.
We offer full assistance to major international companies concerning their implementation of
employee offering plans, stock options and similar rights.
When litigation is inevitable we offer expert litigation services, including job security and
indemnification related claims, assistance in relation to the labour authority inspections,
issues raised by trade unions and claims relating to workplace safety, overtime payments, and
notice and severance pay requests.
