Although the legal framework has existed for 25 years, the Danish Act on Employees’ Rights on Transfer of Undertakings and case law from both national courts and the European Court of Justice continue to cause considerable uncertainty and therefore also many strategic considerations in relation to both collective agreements and individual employment contracts.

We advise on:

• Labour and employment law due diligence processes
• Strategic considerations in relation to dealing with collective agreements, including opt-out procedures
• Implementation of action plans to deal with the employment aspects of business transfers, including information and consultation procedures
• Restructures in relation to business transfers
• Adjustment and standardisation of employment contracts
• Outsourcing of functions
