Independent full-service heavyweight Arendt & Medernach provides a comprehensive contentious and non-contentious employment offering for a myriad clients in the financial and industrial sectors, in particular. Drawing upon a wide array of knowledge of both individual and collective law procedures, team head Philippe Schmit is at the forefront of the highest-profile mandates handled by the team, including large redundancy procedures, as well as a considerable volume of litigation/investigations - including a growing number related to whistle-blowers. Combining business crime and employment expertise, Jean-Luc Putz is also a key member of the team, particularly in light of an increasing willingness to prosecute economic misdemeanours perpetrated by directors.
