Employment law
Comprehensive advice for employers in national and international contexts.
In particular, we assist with intra-group secondments involving third countries, covering all areas of individual and collective employment law.
We support our clients from the establishment of employment relationships through to their termination and are experienced in reconciling competing interests, even in international contexts.
Establishment of Employment Relationships
The drafting and ongoing revision of employment contracts and corresponding templates for use within a company's HR department require ongoing monitoring of legal developments. The drafting, negotiation, and execution of employment contracts require balancing a broad range of legally and commercially relevant interests. We support our clients, particularly in managing differing perspectives in international contexts.
Termination of Employment Relationships
We advise entrepreneurs and companies, in particular, on the proper termination of employment contracts and the selection of the most commercially appropriate approach, the preparation and execution of terminations, the negotiation of termination and settlement agreements, and the representation of interests in labor court proceedings throughout Germany.
Compliance
Ensuring legally compliant conduct is becoming increasingly important in the field of employment law. We assist you in complying with legal requirements regarding working hours, occupational health and safety, as well as temporary staffing and the proper employment of foreign employees, taking into account immigration regulations.
We also advise you on the drafting and implementation of internal codes of conduct and work instructions on various topics such as IP security, competition law, corruption, or money laundering. This includes the development of compliance structures and control mechanisms.
Employee Data Protection
Employee data protection involves establishing processes that comply with the BDSG and the GDPR. We approach these matters in close collaboration with our data protection specialists.
