Employment & pensions

Employment issues have multiple dimensions: at strategic level, at cross-border level and a local dimension on the ground. AEL employment lawyers work in partnership with clients to develop individual, sophisticated and creative solutions to modern workplace issues. Falling trade barriers, modern technology, international cooperation, and a mobile workforce have combined to create a global marketplace. These new opportunities also bring new challenges, particularly when it comes to employment, pensions or human resources.

AEL lawyers advise on the full range of employment and benefits issues, local and global, advisory and transactional, and contentious and non-contentious. This includes advising on issues from working conditions, labor risk prevention, employee relations, HR policies and privacy, to restructuring, relationship breakdowns and dispute resolution.

Whether you need a creative solution to a technical pension benefit problem, day–to-day practical advice on the operation of your retirement benefit plans, commercial advice on the pension’s risks in a transaction or help navigating the increasingly regulated pension’s environment, AEL lawyers have the critical experience and knowledge to help your company almost everywhere it does business.
