Work highlights

  • Advised BE Group on winding down its Lithuanian operations and terminating existing staff, including resolving the complication of a branch manager who, having been promoted from Sales Manager, had been working without signing any formal employment amendment documents.
  • Assisted Santa Monica Networks with completely updating their internal employment system by amending and drafting normative internal legal acts, regulations, and template agreements, addressing the challenge of unregulated remote work.
