Labour and Employment

The labour law department at Durán‑Sindreu provides comprehensive advice to companies and public‑sector entities on all matters related to employment relations, regulatory compliance and the legal management of people, within an increasingly demanding and fast‑changing regulatory environment.

We work alongside national and international organisations, SMEs, large corporate groups, public administrations and entities, as well as start‑ups and growing companies, offering a rigorous, preventive and strategically oriented approach.

 

Labour law services

With a holistic and practical perspective, the Labour Law Department at Durán‑Sindreu delivers specialised advice across the key areas that shape the legal management of employment relations, combining technical excellence with preventive guidance and strategic support.

We provide specialised support in both individual and collective employment matters, including the interpretation and application of labour and Social Security regulations, collective bargaining agreements and company‑level arrangements.

We assist clients in collective bargaining processes in both the private and public sectors, as well as in matters such as substantial changes to working conditions, remuneration systems, internal flexibility measures, corporate reorganisations and organisational restructuring processes.

We have extensive experience in workforce restructuring, collective and individual dismissals, temporary lay‑off procedures (ERTEs), and other staff reorganisation processes. Our work places particular emphasis on robust legal planning, risk management and reputational impact.

Our department has a strong track record in labour litigation, representing clients before labour courts as well as in administrative and pre‑litigation proceedings.

We act in disputes involving dismissals, wage claims, disciplinary sanctions, collective disputes, protection of fundamental rights and Social Security matters, designing in each case the most suitable strategy to safeguard our clients’ interests.

We advise on the design, implementation and review of labour‑law compliance systems, including equality plans, pay‑gap reporting, wage audits, digital‑disconnection policies, working‑time control and workplace harassment prevention.

In collaboration with our Compliance team, we also draft and update internal policies, codes of conduct and corporate protocols, ensuring alignment with the applicable legal framework and their effective integration into compliance and good‑governance systems.

We play an active role in labour due‑diligence processes within M&A transactions, corporate restructurings and investment operations. Our work includes identifying labour and Social Security contingencies and proposing legal solutions for their proper management.

We offer specialised advice on global mobility, supporting companies and public entities with international assignments, expatriations and temporary postings, and analysing the labour and Social Security implications of each scenario.

We advise executives and senior managers on the drafting and negotiation of senior‑management contracts, as well as on onboarding and exit processes.

We also have significant experience assisting start‑ups and innovative companies, including the design of employment structures, incentive schemes and stock‑option plans tailored to their growth and scalability needs.

A strategic and multidisciplinary approach

The Labour Law Department at Durán‑Sindreu is defined by a close, highly technical and multidisciplinary approach, working in coordination with the firm’s other practice areas to deliver legal solutions aligned with our clients’ business priorities and public‑management objectives.
