Employment law

Belgium is known for having one of the most protective labour law legislations in Europe, mostly in favour of the employee. As an employer, you cannot therefore risk making a mistake, bearing in mind it could cost you serious indemnity. The employment law team of Kocks & Partners works preventively as well as repressively, from advising you how to handle a certain situation to working out together necessary action and defending this action before the court.

Belgian labour law is, however, often a labyrinth of rules, set out by case-law decisions where the influence of trade unions is inevitable. Kocks & Partners can show you the right way in Belgium when it comes to individual cases or measures where trade unions need to be involved, such as mass redundancies.
