De Luca & Partners’ professionals provide assistance and advice on all ordinary employment activities, in accordance with business and individual Client needs.
Specifically, De Luca & Partners’ professionals assist Clients in various areas:
Since its foundation, and thanks to the founder’s specific skills and those of the Team, the Firm has been regularly involved in the reorganisation and restructuring of companies and directly involved in related industrial relations, providing regular assistance and advice to national and international Clients on all aspects related to restructuring procedures.
Furthermore, De Luca & Partners’ professionals deal with critical moments in business life in the field of employment law, offering their assistance in disciplinary proceedings, individual and collective transfers, changes to roles or other conditions of the employment relationship, as well as individual and collective dismissals and any other form of termination of the relationship. De Luca & Partners’ professionals also offer advice on the grant or transfer of a company or sale of a business unit.
The Firm supports client companies in the preparation of corporate policies and regulations: both those of a more traditional nature, such as those relating to disciplinary issues, and those that are more innovative, such as regulations on remote working.
