Employment Law & Social Security

Legal Support in Employment Law & Social Security

Specialised legal support in employment law and social security matters, covering every aspect of the employment relationship — from dispute management and claims to pension planning and insurance protection.

Labor law and social security law are key pillars for protecting the rights of employees and employers, regulating the functioning of the employment relationship, providing social protection, and ensuring decent working conditions. The constant evolution of legislation and the complexity of the relevant procedures make specialized and timely legal guidance essential.

Our firm provides comprehensive legal support, with an emphasis on a strategic approach, the immediate resolution of every issue, and the effective protection of our clients’ interests.

Workplace Accidents

We handle all aspects of workplace accident cases, from investigating the circumstances of the incident to pursuing compensation. We manage the proceedings before the competent authorities (such as KEPEK), collaborate with specialized experts where necessary, and take every necessary step to ensure full compensation for the victim’s damages.

Wages Owed & Employment Claims

We support employees in claiming wages owed, compensation, and other employment-related claims through:

  • filing a complaint with the Labor Inspectorate
  • filing lawsuits for payment of accrued wages
  • work stoppage
  • claiming compensation for detrimental changes
  • initiating criminal proceedings where necessary

Changes to Employment Terms

We provide legal guidance in cases of unilateral detrimental changes to employment terms, assessing the legality of the change and proposing the most appropriate strategy, whether to retain the job or to claim compensation.

Dismissal & Unlawful Termination of Contract

We handle dismissal cases promptly and effectively, examining the legality of the termination and taking all necessary actions, such as:

  • filing a complaint with the Labor Inspectorate
  • drafting extrajudicial statements
  • filing lawsuits and seeking injunctive relief
  • claiming compensation and back wages

Workplace Violence & Harassment

We handle cases of workplace harassment and violence, providing comprehensive legal support both in and out of court. We approach each case with discretion and sensitivity, seeking the immediate protection of our client’s dignity and rights.

Legal Representation & Resolution of Labor Disputes

We provide full representation before the competent authorities and courts, handling all types of labor disputes with the aim of achieving a swift and effective resolution.

Social Security Law

We have specialized expertise in social security matters, providing:

  • preparation of pension studies and retirement planning
  • processing of old-age, disability, and survivor pensions—claiming refunds for overpaid contributions
  • representation before social security agencies and administrative courts
  • handling disputes regarding pensions, insurance periods, and benefits
