It provides clients with consultation throughout the stages of audit and enforcement, from preparation for the audit, representation of the CEO in clarifications with the Labor Inspector and with the Commissioner of Financial Sanctions, contesting against decisions to impose financial sanctions in appeal committees of the regional courts and the National Labor Court. All thanks to a unique work method developed at the Firm resulting from in-depth experience, thorough understanding and knowledge of the wage systems, the Firm’s audacity to assert creative and far-reaching legal claims, and the team’s willingness to fight for obtaining the desirable outcomes, thus preventing the risk of imposing financial sanction on a client’s corporation and CEO.
