- Job descriptions
- Non-compete and confidentiality agreements
- Specific agreements for various cases and conflict situations
Employment law attorneys represent clients in court, including on the following issues:

We ensure compliance with all formalities for the employment of foreign workers, as well as obtaining temporary residence permits for them (including temporary residence permits for highly qualified foreign workers—so-called EU Blue Cards, which provide their holders and their spouses with a range of social guarantees, the possibility to obtain EU permanent resident status, and also the possibility to obtain an EU Blue Card in another EU country).
