Strelia’s practice covers the full spectrum of employment and benefits law. The firm is specialised in corporate restructuring, HR transformation, and change management, including collective dismissals and site closures. The team is noted for its employment litigation expertise across all court levels, as well as its work on compliance and investigations, including whistleblowing and HR audits. Labour law in M&A transactions is another core area of strength for the practice, and it benefits from the experience of the firm’s corporate and M&A department. Stefanie Tack spearheads the practice with notable expertise in whistleblowing investigations, restructurings, and labour inspections.
