Emploi, pensions et immigration

Nous gérons toute la gamme d’enjeux liés au droit du travail au nom de clients de partout dans le monde, que ce soit localement ou pour leurs activités à l’étranger.

L’exercice du droit du travail en toute confiance

Clyde & Co est présent dans six continents et sert des clients de tous les secteurs, de tous les domaines et de toutes les professions. C’est ce qui nous donne notre connaissance inégalée du droit du travail dans toutes les grandes économies du monde.

Forts de cette expérience et de ce savoir, nous adaptons nos conseils aux besoins particuliers de chaque client, qu’il soit implanté dans un seul territoire ou dans plusieurs États.

Nous savons que la gestion des obligations en matière de ressources humaines est une priorité pour notre clientèle. En effet, il est crucial qu’elle puisse attirer, retenir et récompenser une main-d’œuvre compétente, tout en se conformant aux lois et règlements pertinents, que ce soit en matière de droit de l’immigration ou d’obligations relatives aux régimes de retraite.

Notre feuille de route est enviable en ce qui a trait au soutien des employeurs aux prises avec des litiges juridiques, qu’il s’agisse de cas de licenciements abusifs, d’allégations de discrimination ou de dénonciation nuisant à la réputation. Nous sommes aussi spécialistes des mouvements collectifs, de la protection des entreprises et des clauses restrictives.

Chaque fois que c’est possible, nous nous employons à atteindre des règlements à l’amiable et sommes fiers du fait que bon nombre des cas auxquels nous participons ne se rendent pas devant les tribunaux. Toutefois, lorsque le recours aux tribunaux est inévitable, nous sommes prêts à déployer nos capacités avérées en matière de litige.

Grâce à nos cabinets spécialisés en droit du travail, de l’immigration et des régimes de retraite situés au Royaume-Uni, au Moyen-Orient, à Hong Kong, à Singapour et en Australie, nous sommes en mesure d’offrir un service à l’échelle mondiale. Nos relations avec des cabinets de haut calibre en droit du travail, comme membres affiliés de L&E Global (au Royaume-Uni et à Singapour), contribuent à l’universalité de nos services.

Culture, comportement et conduite en milieu de travail
