Labor and Employment

Workforce Management

We advise employers on the drafting, review, and implementation of compliant employment contracts and workplace policies. Our support includes managing union relations in the industrial and manufacturing sectors, adapting international HR policies to the Turkish legal environment, preparing confidentiality and non-compete clauses, and implementing employee incentive plans. We also provide support to clients throughout corporate restructurings, mass layoffs, and post-merger workforce integrations, helping to manage transitions smoothly while minimizing disputes.

Workplace Compliance

We design and implement comprehensive compliance programs covering workplace safety, anti-harassment and anti-discrimination, privacy, and anti-corruption requirements. Our work also includes conducting internal audits and investigations into suspected misconduct. We help employers prepare for regulatory inspections and strengthen liability management for managers and senior executives.

Employment Disputes

Our team represents employers, executives, and employees in all types of employment disputes. We combine strategic negotiation with litigation and arbitration experience to resolve conflicts related to terminations, disciplinary actions, workplace accidents, harassment, discrimination, and union relations.

Collective Labor Law

We represent clients in matters related to union activities and collective bargaining negotiations, protecting their interests during the formation of collective labor agreements.

Expatriates and Immigration Law

We advise multinational companies and foreign employees in sectors such as technology, banking, and automotive on all aspects of Turkish immigration law. Our expertise in navigating complex bureaucratic requirements ensures efficient and compliant recruitment processes for foreign employees in Turkey, including obtaining work and residence permits and advising on related tax structuring.
