Employment agreements

We possess extensive experience in a wide range of matters relating to the conclusion, enforcement and termination of employment contracts. Our law firm represents companies and helps them to draft and negotiate employment contracts so that, on the one hand, employment contracts correspond to the reasonable expectations and commercial arrangements of the parties, and, on the other hand, the employment contract complies with overriding requirements of the Lithuanian laws. 

We ensure that the auxiliary corporate documents, for example, internal regulations of a company, internal rules of different departments of companies, duties of employees, are properly drafted and employer’s interests are properly protected. In fact, many companies encounter such situations when they need to dismiss incompetent or non-performing employees. For this reason, proper and inexpensive termination of employment contracts is one of the key concerns for employers. In particular, we advise companies on the following matters:

• Mandatory requirements of the Lithuanian laws that are applicable for employment contracts
• Inclusion of special terms into employment contacts (probation, compensation for professional training, confidentiality and non-compete clauses)
• Advising on the conclusion of fixed-term employment contracts
• Advising on wage hours and  overtime
• Advising on the severance payments and settlement agreements
• Assistance in receiving labour permits and employment of foreigners 
• Advising on non-discrimination terms
• Assistance to accountants with regards to the proper notification of governmental authorities
