Employment law issues regularly arise in the course of business decisions. They relate both to the legal assessment of individual measures and to their implementation within the company.
Employment law risks must be managed without compromising the company’s ability to act. We advise you on individual and collective employment law, ranging from the drafting and negotiation of employment contracts and directors’ contracts to restructuring and proceedings before the employment courts.
An Interdisciplinary Approach to Labor Law Issues
Many issues cannot be resolved solely under employment law. Tax and social security implications are often decisive factors. We incorporate these aspects into our advice from the outset.
During change processes, we advise you on the planning and implementation of personnel measures and conduct negotiations with employee representatives. In the event of disputes, we represent your interests before the employment tribunals.
