Employment Law Alliance Law Firm Member in Italy Receives Recognition

We are pleased to announce that LABLAW has won the World Finance Award for Best Italian Industrial Relations and Labour Law Team 2008. World Finance is a leading financial magazine based in London. The panel of judges, which included editor Alexander Redcliffe and former BBC journalist Hywel Jones, selected firms which showed the greatest progress over the past year, strong management, financial improvement, and increased market share across major practice areas.

Industrial Relations and Labour Law is much more sophisticated practice than employment law. With employment law one is dealing with the basics of day to day human resources such as the dismissal of individual workers, executives or small groups of employees. With Industrial Relations and Labour Law one must not only consider the relationship between the employee and the employer, one must instead step up in order to work with the trade unions, the Italian administration and the Italian government itself.

This is not first time that LABLAW has been recognised as a premier Italian labour law and industrial relations firm. In its first year of activity the international legal research directory Chambers & Partner stated that LABLAW was ‘tipped to become one of the strongest players in the market'. Legal 500, another leading international legal directory, referred to LABLAW's partners as ‘excellent', ‘able' and ‘decision makers'. In addition, LABLAW was the only Italian labour law firm to have 100% of its partners ‘Recommended' or ‘Highly Recommended' in both the 2006 - 2007 and 2007 - 2008 PLC Cross - border Handbooks for Labour and Employee Benefits.

LABLAW is not just advising on the daily needs of employees and human resource management - they are operating at the premier level dealing with powerful Italian executives, magistrates, politicians and public officers of the Italian administration with whom they already have established relationships. LABLAW meets the growing needs of their clientele and to ensure a continual and personalised service they are available 24 hours a day seven days a week. Wherever or whenever - LABLAW Works!
