Judicial and extrajudicial agreement reports
The legal proceedings on labour disputes do not exclude the option of reaching an agreement. In such cases, the Riviera law firm deals with the parties’ actual willingness to achieve mutual concessions sought for an amicable settlement. Should these mediations be reached before the proceeding commencement, they can be finalised by signing agreements before the trade union. In case of a pending legal proceeding, it is possible to sign the agreement before the presiding judge. Upon noting the resolution of the dispute, the judge can declare the proceedings concluded.
Employment agreement at a territorial or company level
The Riviera law firm assists in the requirements assessment to draft employment agreements at a territorial or company level. These agreements are collective agreements that companies may sign with trade unions with a strong representation power. All of this aims to waive, within certain limits, the law and national collective bargaining agreements on matters concerning work management and production.
Job-security agreement
We offer assistance to identify the best solutions to fight the impact of the production activity crisis. This helps prevent the risk of unlawfully dismissing surplus employees when there are new business needs.
