Handling litigation on the reclassification of self-employment into employment 

Client request 

A leading European managed services provider, employing more than 1,800 people across 24 locations, required assistance in a litigation initiated before the Labour Court of Milan by a self-employed contractor seeking the reclassification of his relationship into employment with executive status.  

Our approach 

The firm adopted a strategic and defensive approach aimed at challenging the claimant’s allegations through a detailed assessment of the actual working arrangements and the correct legal classification of the relationship. Particular focus was placed on the risks associated with potential reclassification and the related financial exposure.  

Our intervention 

We assisted the client in managing the litigation concerning claims for recognition of an employment relationship, unlawful dismissal and related indemnities. The matter was ultimately resolved through a settlement agreement, ensuring a comprehensive and final resolution of the dispute and any potential claims arising from the relationship.
