Litigation

We represent our Clients in court proceedings regarding various aspects of HR, both in disputes between parties to the employment relationship and proceedings against the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) or the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP).

Though litigation is often considered the essence of the lawyer’s work, in our practice we believe that court proceedings are not always cost-effective, irrespective of the final decision served. As a result, while advising our Clients, first we assess not only the chances of winning a case, but also the costs associated with conducting a given court case, its consequences in terms of impact on other employees, the need to involve the Client’s resources (financial, time and human). It is only on this basis that we give our recommendation on the advisability of initiating or continuing the dispute. Quite often, because of our involvement at an early stage of the conflict, it is possible to resolve it by amicable means.

Upon decision to initiate or continue a given dispute, we present the Client with a trial strategy developed based on the most recent labour court decisions and our litigation experience, draft pleadings, including appeals, and represent Clients before courts of all instances and the Supreme Court.
