In January 2001, Claeys & Engels launched ius laboris, an alliance of leading law firms providing specialised legal services in employment and labour law, pensions and employee benefits. As the largest group of independent employment law specialists worldwide, the alliance offers its clients global coverage.

Ideally positioned to assist multinationals
Clients of the member firms of ius laboris can be confident that they have access to the services of leading national employment law specialists in each country. All member firms are ranked in the top tiers of leading legal directories.

Clients can also benefit from the on-going exchange of information and knowledge among member firms. Through the various ius laboris practice groups, lawyers further their international skills and share their knowledge with clients through publications, newsletters, seminars and in-house training.

Ius laboris lawyers have extensive and regular contact with each other. They work together on client projects and meet frequently at conferences and training sessions. This means that the alliance can respond quickly to its client’s requests.

Much more than a referral network  

Through ius laboris, our clients benefit from:

• labour law, pensions and tax assistance in all countries where they have operations;
• a coordinated approach by leading law firms;
• a consistent high-quality international service;
• a cross-border service at a competitive price.
