    The current Catalan independence debate and recent decisions by the European Courts will potentially affect many businesses with operations in Spain. Ignacio Regojo and Juan Nasarre from our Madrid office will provide updates on:

    The “Catalan problem” 

    • Its effect on the Spanish business environment and the challenges for employers

    Increases in severance payments relating to temporary contracts

    • The impact on Spanish employers of the European Court of Justice’s ruling in De Diego Porras 

    Monitoring of employees' private electronic communications

    • The practical implications for employers in Spain of the Barbulescu European Court of Human Rights’ judgment

    Invalid dismissal claims

    • The increased tendency of employees in Spain to claim that dismissals be declared invalid (alleging discrimination on the basis of illness, among other circumstances) and to request additional damages

    Other relevant Spanish judgments and the legislation pipeline

    • What is on the horizon in Spain

    The webinar will be a 50-minute presentation in English followed by a 10-minute online question and answer session.

    Intended to help you manage labour and employment law risks across your international operations, the webinar will be of interest to both HR professionals and in-house counsel.
