Employment Law

We assist both employers and employees in all employment-related matters, providing practical and legally sound solutions.

Balance is key in employment relationships

A fair balance between the rights and obligations of employers and employees is the foundation of smooth and lasting cooperation.

Well-regulated employment relationships and balanced decisions help prevent disputes and create a stable and motivating work environment.

For Employers

  • When can a fixed-term contract be signed?
  • What should be considered when hiring foreign employees?
  • How to ensure the protection of trade secrets?

For Employees

  • Was the termination of employment lawful?
  • A workplace accident occurred – who is responsible?
  • Does a non-compete clause apply?

My family and I are sincerely grateful to the Lepmets and Nõges bureau, whom we found through recommendations from acquaintances. A long and exhausting process had reached a dead end, but thanks to their professional assistance, expertise, resourcefulness, and, more importantly, understanding of the situation and humane attitude, we can now continue with our normal lives.
