Employment law
Employment lawyer in Luxembourg
The firm advises both employers and employees in Luxembourg: employment contracts, dismissal, termination, harassment and disputes before the Labour Tribunal.
Luxembourg employment law is protective and governed by strict time limits, particularly when it comes to dismissal.
The firm secures your HR decisions and defends your rights, on the employer side as well as the employee side.
The need
Hiring, changing a contract, dismissal, negotiated departure: every stage carries a risk of dispute.
On the employee side, challenging a dismissal means meeting short deadlines.
The risk
An irregular dismissal exposes the employer to compensation; on the employee side, a claim against a dismissal is subject to a strict limitation period (often 3 months).
A letter stating the grounds for dismissal that is too vague can be enough to make a dismissal wrongful.
How the firm helps
Drafting and securing of contracts and procedures, support with dismissals and terminations, and representation before the Labour Tribunal.
The firm advises early to avoid disputes, and defends firmly when a dispute is unavoidable. Our digital tools only organise information intake; the advice and representation come from a lawyer admitted to the Luxembourg Bar.
