Your people are your business — and also its most regulated relationship. We help employers in Albania hire, manage, restructure, and part ways cleanly: contracts and policies that fit how you work, decisions that stand up in court, and disputes handled before they become expensive.
Most employment disputes are won or lost long before they begin, in the quality of the contract, the policy, and the paper trail. We help you get those right, so that when a difficult decision has to be made it can be made cleanly and defended confidently.
What we advise on.
Contracts & internal rules
We prepare employment contracts, handbooks, and internal regulations that comply with the Labour Code and fit how you actually operate. Clear terms at the start prevent most disputes at the end.
Executive arrangements
We structure senior hires and departures, including incentives, confidentiality, and non-compete and non-solicitation terms. Executive terms are drafted to be enforceable, not merely aspirational.
Restructurings & transfers
We advise on redundancies, reorganizations, and business transfers, managing consultation, selection, and documentation correctly. Getting the process right is what limits both cost and claims.
Pay, time & leave
We advise on working time, remuneration, leave, and mandatory contributions, keeping your practice compliant as the rules change. Small, systematic errors here are the ones that accumulate into large liabilities.
Discipline & grievance
We design and run fair disciplinary and grievance procedures that reach the right outcome and survive challenge. A sound process is the best protection against a successful claim.
Disputes
We represent employers in individual and collective disputes, from negotiation through to court. We prepare each matter properly, which is usually what makes it settle well.
How we work with you.
We advise on the law and the situation in front of you, not on the textbook, and we tell you plainly what you can do, what you should do, and what it will cost. Where a decision carries tax or contribution consequences — severance, benefits, equity — our colleagues are involved from the start.
A senior lawyer owns the relationship and brings in the right specialist for the specific issue, so advice is both consistent and expert. You get decisions you can act on, documented well enough to stand behind.
You are hiring senior people or standardizing your contracts and policies.
You are restructuring, reducing headcount, or transferring staff.
You are facing an employment claim or managing a difficult exit.
Employment relationships are governed by the Labour Code (Law No. 7961/1995, as amended, notably by Law No. 136/2015), together with the legislation on social and health insurance contributions. The Code sets mandatory minimum protections — on notice, dismissal, working time, and leave — that a contract cannot lawfully reduce, and we advise squarely within them.
