Frequently asked questions
Labor law attorney and labor law advisory services
Here are brief answers to questions that often come up before the first contact.
What does a labor law attorney do?
An employment lawyer helps employers assess and handle issues regarding employment, personnel, the Co-Determination Act (MBL), collective agreements, reorganization, termination of employment, and labor disputes. The advice often covers both the legal aspects and how the process should be carried out.
When should we contact a legal counsel before a termination?
Ideally, before the decision is made or communicated. The basis for the decision, the reason, the issue of reassignment, the obligation to negotiate, and the manner in which the decision is communicated can influence which steps need to be taken and in what order.
When does the employer have to negotiate according to the Co-Determination Act (MBL)?
The obligation to negotiate depends, among other things, on the collective bargaining agreement, the nature of the planned change, and which employees are affected. In certain situations, negotiations must take place before the employer makes a decision. Therefore, make this assessment early on.
Can you represent us in union negotiations or a labor dispute?
Yes. Lew Lex can assist employers in union negotiations and represent them in labor law disputes and court proceedings.
Can we get help even if we don't have a collective bargaining agreement?
Yes. Employers without collective agreements are still covered by labor law and may need support with, for example, employment contracts, personnel matters, the work environment, dismissals, and disputes.
Can we hire you for a single case?
Yes. You can hire Lew Lex for a specific matter or choose ongoing support through a corporate lawyer on a subscription basis.
What happens after the initial contact?
You describe the situation in general terms. Lew Lex will get back to you for an initial discussion regarding needs and any time limits. If Lew Lex is able to take on the assignment, you will receive information about the proposed approach and pricing terms before the assignment is confirmed.
