Workforce issues are among the most complex and important matters facing any organisation, potentially affecting productivity and either creating or undermining a positive workplace culture. Our expertise can improve an organisation’s competiveness and increase its attractiveness.
Marccus Partners has a nationally and internationally recognised, large and diversified Labour & Pensions practice.
The Labour & Pensions team looks after its clients’ interests by assisting them in litigation, arbitration, immigration and administrative proceedings. We advise our clients on domestic, international and transnational issues.
We have extensive experience in the acquisition, sale, reorganisation and restructuring of companies and business organisations. This enables us to deal efficiently and pragmatically with the employment aspects of M&A transactions. Our Labour & Pensions practitioners assist our clients on a day-to-day basis in preparing their strategy and in drafting all required documents in the light of their financial situation and other pertinent factors.

Our lawyers are specialists in all legal aspects of establishing and operating pension schemes, restructuring pension arrangements, merging and winding up pension schemes, and corresponding disputes including court proceedings. We also specialise in providing advice on employee share option plans and profit-sharing schemes, long-term incentive plans for senior executives, management participation in management buy-ins, and employee incentive schemes, including profit-related pay and phantom stock schemes.
Employment, Social Security & Criminal Liability Litigation -Top-
With regard to the litigation risks relevant to labour law issues, Marccus Partners’ approach consists in preventing disputes and optimising employment relations through negotiation.
The litigators in our Labour & Pensions practice have a proven track record of success in litigation before the Employment Tribunal. Their experience covers social security law such as in litigation concerning social security contribution adjustments, work-related illnesses and workplace accidents.
Our team also focuses on the specific criminal risks to which our clients may be exposed, assessing the criminal liability of the head of the company, setting up safeguard mechanisms and handling defence cases if the risk materialises.

Our corporate clients seek our advice on a wide range of immigration matters, including work visas for employees at all levels, secondment of executive personnel, management and specialists, and issues relating to mergers, acquisitions, divestments, deportation and eligibility for admission. We also seek to optimise mobility from a tax and social security perspective.
