Business Restructuring | Labor / Employment | Legal Services

About

Many of the lawyers in our group also belong to the Corporate / Mergers & Acquisitions practice group. As a result, we are well versed in M&A and business restructuring transactions. From the initial planning stage, we carefully consider what labor issues may arise so that our clients are aware of unexpected problems in advance. We design employment schemes that minimize the risk of labor disputes and integrate labor conditions. We also advise on communications and other measures which are often overlooked following a restructuring.

Our lawyers are ideally placed to provide services for the post-restructuring phase, which includes harmonization of labor conditions, personnel redeployment and the more complex headcount streamlining process. When assisting with these issues, we are always mindful of cost, timing and efficiency issues for our clients and their group companies.
