Employment Law

Employment Law

The working world is becoming ever more complex, digital and mobile: We accompany you in this process of change, both in your day-to-day business and in your important projects. This applies to negotiations with works councils and trade unions, arbitration or conciliation bodies, in disputes before labour or civil courts, and in negotiations with members of executive bodies. We give you the employment law advice you need - at any time, customised, on point and reliable. Our goal is the successful implementation of your wishes and an appreciative and personal cooperation with you.

Big issues need reliable partners

Our expertise covers a broad spectrum of employment law topics. In particular, we support you in your restructuring and reorganisation measures, accompany you through transformation processes and competently assist you with your employment law issues in M&A transactions. In addition, we offer comprehensive solutions in compliance matters and advise you in all areas of company pension law. Our specialists develop customised and pragmatic solutions to your challenging issues, with you benefitting from our broad industry knowledge, our negotiating expertise and our experience in providing long-term strategic advice.

Are you planning an international project? Together with established, independent partner law firms abroad, we handle all your important matters. We also offer a wide range of Legal Tech options for efficient work processes.

Know what matters

Stay up-to-date on all important changes with our quarterly publication "Focus on Labour Law”. We look forward to a regular exchange with you - at lunch lectures on employment law, web seminars or at our annual Employment Law Day.
