Labor Law Issues Associa­ted with Restruc­turing

Corporate restructurings such as mergers, transfer of undertakings, and downsizing can create formidable human resource challenges. The complexity of these, including the harmonization of social policies, regularly increases significantly when the restructuring involves operations or entities located in multiple countries, or when it occurs within a regulated industry.

Employee data protection

The COVID-19-Pandemic has revealed the demand and opportunities of digital workspace. While companies mostly focus on data protection law related to their customers, the importance of data protection within the company and the legitimate handling of the employees’ personal data has grown. Data protection laws will only be entirely complied with, if companies also consider and carefully implement both employee data protection and security requirements.
