Labor law — from full-time to management contract

Today’s employment realities require employers not only to be familiar with labor laws, but also to be able to implement them effectively in a rapidly changing legal and economic environment. At DSK Law Firm, we offer comprehensive advice on employment matters, combining legal experience with practical HR expertise. Our team specializes in serving both small and large organizations, providing solutions tailored to their scale, structure and needs.

As part of our work, we provide support at both the strategic level – in the design of employment policies and HR documentation – and at the operational level, by assisting with specific labor issues, including those in dispute. We help avoid legal risks, implement effective solutions in compliance with applicable laws, and respond to employers’ problems and needs in real time.
