Employment Law

We advise employers, managing directors, board members, senior executives, and employees on all employment-related issues.

We also advise on restructurings, corporate acquisitions, and works constitution and staff representation law. We draft management service agreements and create customized HR-related agreements.

Our Expertise in Detail

Employment Contracts

We help companies draft legally secure and practical employment contracts. We select the appropriate contract type, define compensation, working hours, vacation, probation periods, and non-compete clauses, and ensure all terms comply with statutory requirements.

We also ensure compliance with anti-discrimination and data protection laws, draft confidentiality agreements, and advise on the employment of freelancers and marginal part-time workers.

Dismissal Protection, Termination and Settlement Agreements

We support companies and executives in dismissal protection proceedings and ensure that terminations are implemented lawfully and fairly. We review grounds for termination, prepare necessary steps, and represent our clients in court throughout Germany.

When negotiating termination and settlement agreements, we establish clear rules to prevent conflicts and minimize economic risks. We clarify issues related to severance pay, garden leave, references, and post-contractual obligations.

Advising Managing Directors and Board Members

We advise managing directors and board members on legally secure structuring and fair termination of service agreements. We negotiate contracts, regulate compensation, bonuses, non-compete clauses, and notice periods, always ensuring clarity and balance.

If a managing director or board member leaves the company, we support negotiations on termination agreements, clarify severance terms, garden leave, and post-contractual obligations.

Works Constitution and Staff Representation Law

We advise companies on all matters of works constitution and staff representation law and assist in negotiations with works councils and staff representatives. We draft works and service agreements, negotiate fair solutions, and ensure legal compliance.

We clarify co-determination rights, inform about participation obligations, and help prevent conflicts early on.

Corporate Acquisitions

In corporate acquisitions, we review employment law aspects and ensure that the transfer of employment relationships is smooth and legally secure. We determine which employment contracts are transferred, review works agreements, and draft employee information letters.

We also assist in negotiations with works councils, advise on restructuring measures, and help identify and avoid risks arising from existing employment relationships.

Restructuring and Reorganization

We guide companies through restructuring processes, review existing employment relationships, draft social plans and reconciliation of interests, and negotiate with works councils.

We clarify issues related to transfers, terminations for operational reasons, staff reductions, and site closures, and draft termination agreements. We also support communication with employees and advise on complex changes like department mergers or leadership structure overhauls.

Advising Public Sector Entities

We advise public sector employers on all aspects of employment law. We draft employment and service contracts, assist with reorganizations, and advise on drafting works and service agreements.

We support HR measures, clarify co-determination issues, represent clients in legal proceedings, and help ensure compliance with employment regulations and early risk detection.

Data Protection in Employment

We help companies process employee data in a legally compliant way. We draft data protection-compliant employment contracts, regulate the handling of sensitive information, and clarify issues regarding consent, data deletion, and workplace monitoring.

We review existing processes, draft statutory information documents, and support the prevention of data protection breaches – helping companies handle employee data safely and lawfully.

Nationwide Representation in Court

We represent companies in employment law proceedings across Germany – both out of court and before all labor courts. We litigate dismissal protection cases, contract disputes, compensation claims, and co-determination matters.

We develop tailored litigation strategies, negotiate settlements, and assert our clients’ interests with determination.

Management Service Agreements

We draft and negotiate legally sound management service agreements tailored to the individual needs of managing directors and board members. We regulate compensation, bonuses, profit-sharing, non-compete clauses, and termination provisions clearly and understandably.

We also assist with the termination of service agreements, clarify severance, garden leave, and post-contractual obligations, and ensure that separations are handled fairly and in full legal compliance.

False Self-Employment

We help companies identify false self-employment early and avoid legal risks. We review employment relationships, analyze workflows, and design legally secure contracts. We also adapt agreements and guide companies through status determination proceedings with the German Pension Insurance. In the event of audits or disputes, we represent our clients before authorities and in court.

Custom Agreements in the HR Context

We draft customized agreements tailored to specific HR needs – including confidentiality agreements, consent forms for employee image use, contracts with freelancers, and collaborations with external partners such as influencers or content creators.

We ensure that all agreements are legally sound, clearly worded, and aligned with your company’s specific needs.
