We draft project work agreements for IT projects and advise on the transfer of intellectual property to the employer, intellectual property protection, non-compete and confidentiality issues.
The IT market is increasingly shaped by efforts to attract talented IT professionals from overseas markets and the growing demand for IT services in Western Europe, Scandinavia, the USA, and Canada. Thus, most IT service providers face a double challenge – to match the expectations of IT talent with the standards set by foreign clients. In case of employment relations, it is essential to perfectly balance the legal regulations on the use of non-working days, working and rest periods, and the tax aspects of the employment relationship. Our niche expertise enables us to help clients resolve these employment law issues with international elements. We also assist with finding the right employment solutions, such as project work agreements and financial incentive schemes like stock options.
In a highly competitive labour market, we regularly help clients with non-compete and confidential information protection issues, which flawed employment agreements might provoke. Our experience allows us to help our clients properly define the scope of confidential information, agree on the essential aspects, and find balanced non-compete clauses in all forms.
