Employment Law

The increasing workforce mobility, outsourcing and other business developments have added to the complexity of the employment landscape. Getting the right people in the right roles in the right locations, appropriately incentivised and supported, while, at the same time, protecting the organisation and its assets has never been more challenging.

Effective employment advice demands a coordinated response, built on effective communication before, during and after any issue or claim. That’s where we can help: our employment law experts deliver informed, practical and pragmatic advice across the full range of contentious and non-contentious employment issues.

We act for employers and employees, so we see both sides of workplace issues. Our lawyers have often been told we’re approachable and responsive, and that we provide solutions based on our clients’ objectives, as well as their approach to risk and employee engagement.

The employment lawyers at Stoeva Tchompalov & Znepolski provide day‐to‐day counseling and advice regarding all legal matters affecting the employment relationship. We have experience of advising on complex and often highly sensitive matters at all stage of the employment life cycle; from drafting employment contracts and advising on incentive arrangements at recruitment to managing risk in handling employee discipline issues and negotiating settlement agreements and bringing employment litigation on termination. With our in-depth knowledge of HR issues and our wide litigation experience, we can review your internal policies, manage risks and ensure that you comply with regulations.

When an employment dispute arises, we work with clients to evaluate cost-effective litigation strategies and any available alternatives to litigation. Our attorneys regularly appear in the trial and appellate court levels, as well as administrative agencies. We have expertise defending claims of wrongful discharge and workplace tort claims, discrimination, failure to accommodate, defamation.
