Labour and Immigration law

Comprehensive advice in the field of labor and immigration law.

Labour law

The field of labour law requires not only broad legal knowledge but also the ability to negotiate with employees and to explain them HT topics in a comprehensive way.

Thanks to our extensive experience in labour law consultancy in this area, we can offer our clients a wide range of services related to labour relations and employment. We help clients with everyday routine issues that can be encountered in the workplace as well as in specific cases that require an individual approach.

In addition to providing complete legal analysis, we also support HR departments, deal with collective redundancies, negotiate and communicate with trade unions, and assist clients with the departure of key employees, the posting of employees abroad or the provision of full cross-border services.

Our Services

    • Preparation of labour law documentation (template documents, managerial and employment contracts, agreements on work performed outside employment, internal regulations, work regulations, etc.).
    • HR department support.
    • Accidents at work and occupational diseases.
    • Whistleblowing.

Our Services

    • Provision of short-term and long-term visas, long-term residence permits (including employee and blue cards), temporary residence permits for EU citizens, permanent residence permits, citizenship.
    • Securing work permits from the Labour Office of the Czech Republic.
    • Ensuring the extension of the relevant residence permit and related authorisations and changes in the purpose of the stay.
