Legal Expertise in HR Law & Labor Law

Discrimination

Employers must have knowledge of discrimination issues. It is important to be able to prevent discrimination and handle situations where discrimination issues become relevant, for example in connection with recruitment.

Dispute

We have extensive experience of litigation in general court, the Labor Court and of arbitration proceedings. The processes we have often involve termination or dismissal disputes or disputes about non-competition and trade secrets. With our experience, we may assist in all types of disputes in HR law.

Employment agreements

Clear and modern employment agreements that are adapted to your business are of great importance in employment relationships, not least to avoid disputes. We can help with drafting and updating all types of employment agreements.

HR-policies

As an employer, it is important to have clear guidelines for how employees may and are expected to act in the employment. Clear and well-implemented policies create a functioning workplace. We help you with everything from advising on what policies are needed in your business to establishing new or updating existing policies.

Immigration

We specialize in helping employers with all HR law and migration law challenges and documents when hiring so-called third-country nationals in Sweden. We have long experience of assisting in applications of work permit.

Investigations

The employer is obliged to conduct an investigation in the event of indications of work environment-related problems, such as victimisation or sexual harassment. We have extensive experience in conducting independent investigations and are well acquainted with the practical challenges that need to be addressed in these cases. The investigative work usually includes holding interviews with those involved, documenting these and other parts of the investigation in a report and proposing appropriate measures for the employer to take.

Non-compete clauses

A non-compete clause is usually included in an employment contract and means that an employee undertakes not to compete with the employer for a limited time after the termination of employment. We can help you draft and interpret non-compete clauses and also support and advice on how to act if you believe that a former employee is violating a non-compete clause.

Privacy issues and personal data in working life

Privacy issues and the handling of employees' personal data are becoming increasingly important. The extensive regulations created by the GDPR place high demands on organizations. We help employers with advice on these issues. Among other things, we can provide advice regarding personal data in working life and help you develop policies and information for employees about how their personal data is processed.

Reorganization

Planning a reorganization often requires careful consideration, both legal and strategic. We help both large multinational companies and also medium-sized and smaller companies with these matters. Since we have many years of experience in reorganizations, we know what considerations must be made for the process to go as smoothly as possible.

Tailored training

We are frequently engaged by various organizations to hold trainings in HR law both by various educational institutes but also by employers in private and public sector. Our trainings contain everything that is worth knowing in HR law. We can also recommend you to participate in some of the trainings we hold via JUC and JP Infonet.

Termination of employment

Termination of employment, for whatever reason, always requires a qualified legal assessment and good knowledge of applicable laws and practices. We therefore recommend that we always seek legal advice before taking such a measure.

Trade secrets

We have extensive experience of matters concerning trade secrets and how best to protect them in your business. For example, it is common in trade secret proceedings to take various security measures through court proceedings.

Transfer of undertaking

In the context of company takeovers, mergers, and other transfer of undertakings, there are several HR-related aspects to consider. We can help with union consultations, harmonization of employment conditions and the production of all necessary documentation in connection with transfer of undertakings.

Union relations and collective bargaining issues

In some cases, employers are obliged to inform and consult with trade unions in connection with changes in the business or working conditions of the employees. We have extensive experience in managing and representing employers in union consultations of all kinds.

Work environment

Employers must systematically plan, lead and control the business in a way that ensures a good working environment. We offer advice and training in e.g. implementation of systematic work environment management, delegation of tasks regarding work environment, working time issues, establishment of work environment policy and support for employers in connection with illness and rehabilitation.
