Disputes and procedures

Most employment law matters can be resolved before a dispute arises and most disputes are resolved outside of the courts. Proper dialogue and good decision-making processes are the most important tools available to employers when it comes to avoiding expensive disputes and legal proceedings with employees and trade unions. However, legal clarification is sometimes necessary. The dispute may, for example, relate to issues of principle that extend beyond the matter in question or it might just be that the parties have incompatible needs. Disputes relating to dismissal and employment protection are unique when it comes to employment law disputes, precisely because the parties have completely different needs in such cases. However, these cases can often also be resolved through negotiations and settlement agreements.
