Employment Law
It is against a background of constantly changing employment laws and regulations that the proactive approach of Morgan Russell is of great benefit.
We work closely with accountants and tax advisers where required. This enables us to not only advise clients on the alternatives available for a particular situation, but to evaluate the cost to them as an employer and the net benefits to the employees, allowing the full picture to be seen before a final decision is made.
We have strong relationships with employment law firms across Europe and worldwide to assist where international employment issues arise. Your attention is drawn to the 'Employment Law Country Comparison' which compares employment law in England and Wales, Ireland, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland.
We are able to assist our clients in the following employment areas:
- Assistance in employment matters when buying and selling a business
