Employment and pensions

The world of work and pensions is evolving rapidly as digitalisation, the changing dynamics of living and working, and societal changes shape business. The pandemic has further accelerated these changes – and has required many to redouble efforts to ensure workforce arrangements are fit for the future and to harness the potential this transformation offers.

Our international teams advise extensively on employment and pensions across multiple jurisdictions, whether on reorganisations, TUPE, disputes, or reputational and risk management.
