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.

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