Iste & Iste advises companies across the employment lifecycle, from establishing employment relationships and managing day-to-day HR matters to workforce restructuring, terminations and employment disputes.
We approach employment matters not only from a legal compliance or disputes perspective, but also in the context of our clients’ organisational structures, HR policies, operational requirements and employer-related risks. We advise on employment agreements, compensation and benefits, working arrangements, performance and disciplinary processes, and the development and implementation of internal employment policies and procedures.
In workforce restructurings, individual and collective terminations, and matters involving senior executives, we focus on identifying legal risks at an early stage and managing the process in line with the company’s commercial and operational requirements. We also represent employers in mediation, litigation and other employment-related dispute resolution proceedings.
