Labor law
We represent employees, works councils, executive employees, and employers.
Employees
If you as an employee are threatened with termination or a termination has already been issued to you, you have been affected by short-time work or your employment relationship is to be revoked, we are more than happy to help you. In the case of terminations, it is especially crucial not to miss the short deadlines for filing legal action for protection against dismissal after notice of the termination.
We advise you out of court and represent your interests before the labor courts.
Works councils
We provide advice to works councils out of court in labor court decision procedures and also in the arbitration committee. We advise in the negotiations on employer/works council agreements and in the conclusion of a social plan/reconciliation of interests.
Employers
As an employer, you are also confronted with numerous problems of labor law. You are forced to lay off employees or to close down parts of your business. We advise in the examination and design of service and employment contracts as well as in the preparation of termination contracts. We also assist you in bargaining agreements and the general collaboration with your works council.
