Regional Employment Guide: Central, Southern and Eastern Europe

With many of our clients, investors and businesses already operating in the Central, Southern and Eastern European region or intending to enter it we are often asked for comparative advice on employment legal aspects in a number of countries from the region.

In response, Bird & Bird has joined forces with Adriala, Stratulat Albulescu Attorneys at Law from Romania, Potamitis Vekris from Greece, and BTS & Partners from Turkey – all law firms which enjoy mutual trust and proven experience over the years, to prepare this Regional Employment Guide.

This Guide aims to help employers navigate their way through certain key employment law questions across 17 jurisdictions of the Central, Southern and Eastern European region.

Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey.

Employment law is regulated nationally, so it is not possible to set out the position in each jurisdiction in full detail. Instead we have created a user-friendly introduction to key employment terms and conditions.

Our authors strongly suggest that investors seek in-depth employment law advice before making a decision on any of the issues outlined in this Guide.

If you would like to learn more, please feel free to reach out to our lawyers listed at the end of the guide.
