Additionally, together Hand Moltamker from Galatea Advocaten, Kalle Pedak from Hedman Partners, Marek Wiewiorski from Wiewiorski Legal and Abdelkader Hamida from Vaughan Avocats, targeted the hot topic in Employment Law in Europe: Capped Damages in Unfair Dismissals by giving their different countries’ perception.

    Between the dialogues and exchange of experiences, the GBL members also enjoyed the touristic side of Turkey by visiting the historical Peninsula, the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome, Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi Palace.
