As a supportive operation to our M&A and Private Equity practices, we developed strong Russian labor law expertise concentrated on complex contentious and non-contentious matters connected to senior management employment contracts.
We frequently represent the interests of general directors, senior managers and complete top management teams in labor negotiations with potential employers as well as employers in negotiations with management. We also participate in negotiations and litigation in disputes between employers and management or owners.
We offer advanced services required for the formation of complex, multilevel compensation systems including options and profit sharing programs, job security as well as non-disclosure and non-competition agreements.
We represented the interests of a group of managers engaged in negotiations with a private equity fund concerning their participation in the creation of a mortgage bank, the interests of two general directors in their negotiations with the owners of the company, and also the interests of employers in negotiations with three top-managers; participated in development of a top-management compensation and confidentiality protection systems in a major holding; represented new shareholder, a private equity fund, in negotiations with management of an acquired company. We have been involved in a number of high-profile labor disputes between former top managers (including foreign citizens) and employers.
