3 minutes with my Lawyer

Get a comprehensive insight into legal topics, in under 3 minutes

In association with the Confédération luxembourgeoise du commerce (clc), our experts have created a series of short, informative videos called

‘3 minutes with my lawyer’.

Each video deals with the current issues on a particular topic, answering questions that you as a business owner may have about it. For example, viewers can get vital clarification on subjects like working hours, the different types of companies, VAT, or even holidays and overtime.

Two new videos will be broadcast each month.
