Labor law
The changing world of work places high demands on the flexibility of everyone involved.
When and where work is carried out is becoming increasingly less important.
Internationally networked teams work across national borders without company or operational boundaries playing a role.
Highly qualified employees expect a good work-life balance in addition to a challenging and self-determined job.
In order to meet these labor law requirements, creative ideas are needed to design a productive working environment and well thought-out contractual solutions.
The legal issues involved are as diverse as the particularities of each individual company and the people who work there.
In employment law, we work for employers, employees and works councils alike.
Resolving conflicts in labor law
The same applies to employment law: where there’s wood, there are chips.
In employment law, it’s not just employers, works councils and employees who face each other, but above all people.
Wherever people work together, conflicts arise.
Resolving conflicts requires, above all, experience and tact.
Sometimes it also requires a determined and strategically thought-out escalation, both in and out of court.
We also advise and represent you as an employer in difficult separation processes and deadlocked disputes with employees.
We start long before a dismissal is announced or a termination agreement is offered.
If you as an employee have received notice of termination or a warning letter, we will support you in the often difficult and lengthy negotiations with your employer.
Employment law for senior executives
Many special features apply to managing directors, authorized signatories and senior executives.
Their prominent position entails rights and obligations that must be taken into account when drafting contracts.
Some employment law regulations are applicable, others are not.
We will be happy to advise you as a company and as a manager from recruitment to termination of employment.
Shaping organizations – using change
Processes in companies have to be constantly adapted.
Departments are merged or separated, closed or founded, sold or bought.
Such changes require good planning and forward-looking project management.
Legal aspects must not be neglected in the process.
We support you as a company right from the conception phase and work with you to develop strategies that can be implemented.
Employee data protection
As many new opportunities as digitalization opens up, the sensitive handling of employees’ personal data is just as important.
Where software makes work more flexible and easier, it must also be ensured that the rights of employees and their interest in the careful handling of personal data are safeguarded.
Employee data protection issues are the subject of countless works agreements, which are often preceded by lengthy disputes between employers and works councils.
We provide you with comprehensive advice and conduct the negotiations competently in terms of both employment law and data protection law.
