Employment Law & Benefits

Because a wide range of workforce issues can impact a company’s ability to attract and retain talent, or can damage its reputation and market value in an instant, companies need trusted, globally scalable employment law solutions.

Multinational and local companies are operating on an unprecedentedly complex market due to increasingly stringent regulations and the rapid pace of business change.

Deloitte Legal includes a large team of lawyers specializing in Employment Law & Benefits who are helping clients overcome the labour challenges brought about by digital transformation and unexpected and unprecedented global crises (such as COVID-19), as well as their future implications. Deloitte’s employment restructuring approach allows companies to move from traditional employment to outsourcing, contracting, secondment, etc.
