Recruitment and Labor

Labor and employment law is an area that is becoming increasingly complex. We have Danish and Greenlandic workers, Faroese trawler skippers and people from Canada, Scotland, China and just about everywhere else in the world.
We also have Greenlandic legislation, Danish collective agreements and a host of more or less homemade employment contracts. Which set of rules applies in which situations is not so easy to answer.

At Nuna Advokater, we have been working with employment law in Greenland for many years, and we therefore have years of experience in all aspects of employment and labor law.
We also have the competence to assist in drafting employment contracts so that a concrete written basis for employment is established, thereby reducing the risk of conflict or facilitating conflict resolution.
We assist both on the employer side, where we have represented a number of Greenland’s largest companies, municipalities and public authorities, and on the employee side, where we have assisted a number of employee organizations.
When we become involved in a labor law matter, we always start by exploring the possibilities of resolving the conflict through negotiation. Attorney Charlotte Pedersen is trained as a mediator and thus has both the practical and theoretical basis for conflict resolution.
If a conflict cannot be resolved through negotiation, we also have the competence to take the case all the way to a court decision. Over the years, we have conducted a large number of court cases and have built up extensive experience in litigating employment law disputes.
In addition to mediation and conflict resolution through the legal system, we also assist our clients with advice in connection with e.g. severance agreements, dismissals, expulsions, changes in terms and conditions or employment contracts with the overall aim of providing the best possible advice and ensuring that our clients’ needs are best met.
We focus on close collaboration and prioritize an open process in our approach.
