Described as a ‘strong team with extensive experience’, Sorainen utilises its strong presence across the Baltics, both in relation to its offices and client base, to handle cross-border employment disputes which can incorporate issues such as pay, redundancy, probation and terminations, in addition to ongoing immigration and employment law advice. Eva Berlaus, Andis Burkevics and Nauris Grigals lead the group, a trio who are contacted for assistance with collective employment relations matters, executive contracts, employment terminations and operational advice, often involving document preparation. Another standout practitioner is Māris Simulis, whose familiarity with the trade and consumer goods sector is an asset for clients in cases in which employees have potentially wrongfully used the employer’s trade secrets.
