Naumović & Partners provides modern legal support in employment law and HR management, with a particular focus on IT companies, digital industries and international teams. We help employers and management align contracts, policies and HR processes with labour, data protection, anti-discrimination and AI-in-HR regulations.
What we do in employment law and HR
We work with HR teams, employers and founders on the full spectrum of issues – from hiring and employment contracts, through HR policies, remote work and immigration, to AI tools in recruitment and disputes over employee rights violations.
Employment law and employment contracts
We advise domestic and foreign employers on all aspects of the employment relationship – from choosing the appropriate contractual model and regulating working hours to disciplinary measures, termination and collective bargaining. We have particular expertise in the IT sector and arrangements that combine employment and freelance models.
- Employment contracts (full-time, part-time, probationary, fixed-term/indefinite)
- Amendments and annexes to contracts, changes to working conditions
- Disciplinary proceedings, warnings, measures and termination of employment
- Collective agreements, internal rules and relations with trade unions
HR policies, workplace governance and remote work
We help companies establish clear and practical HR policies that regulate the workplace, working hours, employee behaviour, data protection and the use of digital tools. We particularly work with teams that operate in hybrid and fully remote models.
- Work rules, rules on disciplinary and material liability
- Anti-discrimination, anti-harassment and DEI policies
- Remote and hybrid work policies, BYOD and use of personal devices
- HR data governance: processing of HR data, access to personnel files, retention periods
Workforce management in the digital sector
IT and technology companies often combine employees, freelancers, service contracts and outsourcing models, which raises specific legal questions and risks of “false self-employment.” We help ensure that working models are set up in compliance with the law, IP rights protection and actual business needs.
- Distinction between employment and freelance/outsourcing models
- Agreements with freelancers, consultants and outsourcing partners
- Arrangement of IP ownership over code and content created by employees and external contractors
- Alignment of compensation and benefits models with tax and labour regulations
AI in HR processes
An increasing number of companies use AI tools for recruitment, candidate selection, performance monitoring and HR analytics, which raises questions about data protection, transparency and prohibition of discrimination. We help HR teams align AI use in HR with GDPR, labour law and the EU AI Act framework.
- Assessment of AI tool compliance in recruitment and employee evaluation
- Agreements with HR software and AI solution vendors
- Transparency rules, notification of candidates and employees
- Risk management of automated decisions and algorithmic bias
Immigration law and global mobility
For IT and other tech employers, the ability to quickly engage foreign specialists is often key to growth. We provide support with hiring foreign nationals, work and residence permits, and aligning contracts with immigration regulations.
- Legal analysis and selection of the appropriate model for engaging foreign nationals
- Work and residence permits, extensions and changes of basis of stay
- Agreements with expat managers and specialists
- Compliance with local labour and social insurance regulations
Employee rights protection and HR compliance
We represent employers and, where necessary, employees in cases of rights violations, discrimination, mobbing and whistleblower protection. Our focus is on preventive measures, but also on effective litigation when a dispute arises.
- Internal complaints and investigations into mobbing, harassment and discrimination
- Whistleblowing systems and whistleblower protection
- Representation in labour disputes before courts and supervisory authorities
- HR compliance audits and recommendations for risk reduction
HR law in synergy with Corporate, Data Privacy and IT team
HR matters are closely linked to corporate changes, digitalisation and data protection – especially in the technology sector. That is why our HR team works in coordination with the Corporate & M&A, Data Privacy and IT & AI teams, particularly in restructurings, M&A and the introduction of new HR technologies.
- HR aspects of M&A transactions and restructuring (employee transfer, TUPE-like issues)
- Linking HR policies with GDPR and NIS2 data security requirements
- Aligning contracts and policies with the introduction of new software and AI HR tools
