PF Law provides counsel to employers on all matters relating to the management of full time, part time and temporary employment relationships – in addition to those with outside consultants. Our team members provide legal advice on all aspects of day-to-day human resource management, the labor implications of corporate mergers, employee disputes, challenges which may arise when there is a generational management transition, as well as employment related crisis situations.

Of note is the team’s counsel in reference to identifying and managing any evident risks as well as potential risks.

This knowledge and skill is important in everyday business life. PF Law has a wealth of experience advising companies on the development of internal policies and the drafting of contracts in order to create an orderly business structure that protects the entrepreneur and, at the same time, is also desirable for talented job seekers.

Employer may also on occasion be confronted with complex situations which may require the intervention of a specialized employment lawyer. For example, a dismissed employee could take an employer to court to try and overturn the dismissal, disputes with and between managers, violations of the employment contracts, etc. PF Law has extensive experience in providing strategic and defensive counsel on a wide range of workplace matters.

The PF Law’s team works closely together with clients to protect them from any contentious situations first and foremost. This involves a detailed knowledge of the client’s business and sector as well as understanding their current situation in terms of type of company and the number of employees in addition to having a feeling for their future plans in terms of expansion or reductions in the workforce.  Solutions must always be fluid as in the current market things can change very quickly as we learned with the recent covid pandemic.  

PF Law’s work understanding its clients business and needs is also fundamental when negotiations with trade unions are involved.  Here, in addition to legal expertise, the human approach to the law is fundamental when agreements need to be negotiated for potential collective dismissals.

PF Law’s counsel focuses on everything related to the one-to-one relationship between the employer and their employee. For example, in reference to collective agreements our team can recommend changes that will enhance the relationship with individual employees. The implementation of non-competition and confidentiality agreements, with both employees and third parties, is another area were our team has extensive experience.

The firm’s counsel is not only about safeguarding the interests of the employer. Our team also provides counsel to senior executives and managers to protect their interests, also in reference to bonuses and concessions.

Many of PF Law’s clients are headquartered overseas. A number of them have decided to open a branch of business in the United States while others have created a brand new business activity from scratch. This has put them in a difficult situation.

In general, doing business is complex hence a legal advisor is always advisable. Doing business in a country other than your own is even more so.  Those arriving from outside do not fully understand the many laws that regulate the world of work, nor the customs that could facilitate the search for new talent.

Part of PF Law’s job is to counsel foreign clients on this process – helping them to navigate between federal, state and local laws.

In the same manner, the firm also advises companies which decide to expand beyond the United States and open a branch of business abroad. Where necessary, PF Law puts them in contact with international local counsel we have established relationships with.

PF Law prides itself on its human approach to the practice of law as we work in partnership with our clients to guide them through the evolution and conclusion of legal processes.
