Labor law with competence and passion

The termination of employment and service relationships is one of our most sought-after areas of advice. We represent both employers and employees as well as managing directors and board members. We handle both individual and mass dismissal proceedings, for example in the context of restructuring measures. In the sense of professional separation management, we accompany our clients through all phases of the separation process.

We have extensive expertise and practical experience in the prevention and management of corporate crises. Our consulting spectrum ranges from anticipatory measures to avoid redundancies in the event of a staff overhang to a hard turnaround with staff adjustments to secure the company's existence.

One of the focal points of our law firm is service contract law, whereby we advise companies as well as managing directors and board members and represent them in and out of court. The spectrum of our activities ranges from the drafting and negotiation of service contracts to liability issues and the dismissal and termination of board representatives.

We support young and experienced managers in their career development. We advise on labor law issues relating to contract drafting and separation management.

We assist employers in the introduction of compliance management systems, in which various co-determination rights of the works council must be observed. Furthermore, we also support our clients in internal investigations and inquiries.

Nationwide litigation before the labor courts, state labor courts and the Federal Labor Court is one of our traditional fields of activity. The same applies to litigation for or against managing directors and board members before the regional and higher regional courts. We stand for consistent representation of our clients in order to maximize the achievement of the litigation goal.

The drafting of employment and service contracts for salaried employees, executive staff as well as managing directors and board members is a recurring process, as the increasingly restrictive case law of the labor courts requires constant adjustments to the contractual clauses. We draft these contracts in accordance with the latest case law.

We accompany company partners during negotiations and conduct conciliation board and labor law resolution proceedings together with our clients.

Transactions such as corporate acquisitions and mergers as well as reorganizations and outsourcing require comprehensive risk assessment and management under employment law. We accompany complex transactions on both the seller's and the acquirer's side.

We advise companies on all issues of collective bargaining law and industrial action law. Our portfolio includes negotiating in particular in-house, supplementary and reorganization collective agreements.
