Employment documentation in Europe
The Problem We Solve
Employment documentation in Europe is highly regulated, and it varies significantly by country. Generic templates, copied contracts, or centrally drafted documents often miss mandatory local requirements, creating legal, operational, and financial risk.
Over time, every country ends up with its own version of the contracts and policies, and some of them miss mandatory local requirements.
Non-compliant or unenforceable employment contracts
A clause written for another country can’t be relied on when you need it, for example in a termination.
Missing mandatory clauses or policies
A clause or policy that local law requires simply isn’t there, because the template came from somewhere else.
Inconsistent documentation across countries
Employees doing the same job in two countries have contracts and handbooks that say different things.
Higher exposure during audits, disputes, or M&A
An auditor, a dispute or a buyer’s due diligence asks for your contracts and policies, and the gaps show.
Over-reliance on local lawyers for basic documents
Every new contract or policy update goes to a local lawyer, even for routine documents.
Most companies don’t need a complex legal project. They need clear, compliant, local documentation that’s ready to use. That’s exactly what this service provides.

Book a Free ConsultationCan you localize our existing contracts and policies, or do you draft new ones?
Both. We draft new documents or localize the templates you already have, and where it makes sense we review your existing templates first and standardize them across countries where possible.
What’s in the Employment Documentation Package?
Employment contracts, termination and lifecycle templates with guidance, core HR policies covering leave, working time, conduct and data protection, and an employee handbook. All of it is created or localized per country and aligned with each other and with your day-to-day practice.
How long does an employment documentation project take?
It’s a fixed-scope package. The minimum engagement is 2 weeks per country, typical projects take 2 to 4 weeks, and multi-country packages take 4 to 6 weeks or more. We confirm your timeline after the first call.
Do the documents cover terminations and exits?
Yes. The package includes termination templates and guidance, aligns your probation, notice and exit frameworks, and uses risk-sensitive drafting for protected employees.
Will the documents be consistent across our countries?
Yes, where possible. We align contracts, policies and practice with each other, and standardize templates across countries where possible.
