    Changing the use of commercial premises to residential: steps and practical recommendations

    It is increasingly common for owners of commercial premises who are having difficulty renting them out to consider converting them into residential properties. This transformation can lead to a better return on investment and adaptation to current demand in the property market. However, the process requires compliance with a series of urban planning, technical and legal requirements that should be understood before beginning.

    Breach of a job offer: when a preliminary contract gives rise to the right to compensation

    Have you made a job offer, the candidate has accepted it and even left their previous job... but in the end the contract has not been formalised? This situation is not uncommon, and the courts have ruled that if there is a preliminary contract or a proven promise of a contract, the person affected can claim compensation for damages. Find out what the case law says and how to handle these cases safely from the payroll and personnel department.

    Sustainability as a lever for economic development

    Neologism refers to a newly incorporated word in a language, used to designate a new object or concept that previously did not exist. Some of these words are circumstantial, while others signify shifts in the social, cultural, and economic paradigms of the world around us. Recalling history, words linked to concepts such as suffrage or capitalism have represented new ways of organizing human activity around society.
