Customer support in the reorganization procedure of the company, involving several divisions and several departments within the commercial and logistics division. The assistance activity involved establishing the reorganization strategy, in correlation with the strategy of the international group to which it belongs, analysing the interdependencies between the divisions, preparing the necessary documents within the reorganization procedure, both internal and supporting documents and those communicated to employees. The reorganization involved both the abolition of some posts and the establishment of new ones, in line with the modification of the logistics and marketing strategies, which required the two-stage procedures. Also, the assistance activity involved the establishment of the strategy for filling the newly created positions and the correlation with the measure of dismissal of some employees, under the conditions of the applicable collective labour contract. The reorganization procedure, although affecting several divisions of the company and several employees (including dismissal), generated a single dispute in which one employee challenged the dismissal measure. Following the reorganization, Stoica & Asociații provided legal assistance and representation in the litigation that followed the reorganization procedure, a litigation that involved the administration of a complex evidence and the formulation of defences based on current jurisprudence of the courts, adapted to the current organization of work.
