Often employment issues are so complex they require expertise in other areas, such as corporate law during a restructuring. Expertise in Intellectual Property is necessary if employees are responsible for technological innovations, and in-depth knowledge of tax law is crucial when dealing with senior management contracts and packages. If a company is considering hiring expatriates, a base in immigration law is an asset. New Balkans Law Office understands how interconnected these areas can be, therefore our employment law team works closely with our other specialists.
