Draft employment contracts
Clear contract structures limit risks from the outset. We review and draft employment contracts that prevent disputes later on.
Employment law:
Clear solutions for employers and employees.
Received a termination notice? Want to terminate someone? A termination agreement on the table?
In employment law, every day counts. Short deadlines, economic pressure, and complex case law make mistakes costly—often irrevocably so.
We represent both employers and employees, focusing on solutions that are not only legally sound but also practically enforceable.

Short deadlines, high pressure, costly mistakes
Employment law affects almost everyone – employers and employees alike. And it has a direct impact on everyday life. Unlike many other areas of law, deadlines are short, economic pressure is high, and case law is extremely dense. If you make mistakes here, you feel the consequences immediately – and often they can no longer be corrected.
For employers, an invalid termination can lead months later to reinstatement and back pay. For employees, missing a deadline can mean losing all claims. In both cases, the following applies: Early, competent advice determines the outcome.
We represent both sides – employers and employees. This experience gives us a decisive advantage: We know the other side’s perspective and its typical mistakes. That makes our advice more precise and our strategy more effective.
Short deadlines
In dismissal cases, a three-week deadline applies for filing a claim. Anyone who misses it usually loses all claims – regardless of how justified they were.
High economic pressure
For employees, it is a matter of livelihood. For employers, it is about personnel costs and operational processes. Both require quick, well-considered decisions.
Complex case law
Employment law is constantly evolving. What applied yesterday may be outdated today. Knowing the current case law is crucial.
Employment law meets corporate law
Employment-law issues are often closely linked to economic developments. Corporate crises, restructurings or insolvency situations have immediate effects on employment relationships – for employers as well as for employees. By linking this to our other practice areas, we can comprehensively assess employment-law matters and handle them in a strategically sound way. Many employment-law specialists lack this perspective.

For employers:
Legal certainty from the very start.
Most employment-law problems for employers do not arise suddenly – they are often set in motion early on. Unclear employment contracts, incorrect warnings, poorly prepared dismissals: what is missed today leads to costly disputes tomorrow. We advise employers proactively and support them when a conflict arises.

Preparing and supporting dismissals and unfair dismissal proceedings
1. Before the notice of termination
Even before an intended termination, careful legal review is crucial in order to avoid later risks. We support you at an early stage with legally compliant preparation.
As part of an appointment that can be arranged at short notice—in person, by phone, or via video—we clarify the specific facts, possible grounds for termination, and existing risks and alternatives (e.g. warning, transfer, termination agreement)
We then take care of the legal assessment of the prospects of success of a termination, review the formal requirements (e.g. works council hearing, deadlines), and draft and formulate the notice of termination.
2. In the event of an unfair dismissal claim
We handle for you the timely statement of defence, the legal analysis and argumentation, the preparation and representation at the conciliation hearing and the chamber hearing, and the conduct of settlement negotiations, taking your economic objectives into account. In doing so, we always keep both the legal prospects of success and your business interests in view.
Our approach
Through the close integration of preventive advice and litigation representation, we ensure that risks are identified early and managed effectively. You are involved in all key decisions and kept continuously informed about the status of the proceedings.
For employees:
Enforce your rights.
As an employee, in employment law you are often facing a significantly stronger party. At the same time, the personal and financial pressure is enormous. Especially in cases of termination and severance agreements, swift action is crucial – missed deadlines regularly lead to irreversible loss of rights. We represent your interests with a realistic assessment of opportunities and risks.

Advisory approach for employees in the event of a dismissal by the employer
If you have received a notice of dismissal, acting quickly is crucial.
As a first step, we can offer you a consultation appointment at short notice—in person at our office, by phone, or via video. In this appointment, we clarify together the background to the termination, your personal circumstances, e.g. whether you have protection against dismissal, your objectives, and the prospects of success of an unfair dismissal claim.
Afterwards, we review your documents comprehensively and develop an individual strategy.
If you instruct us, we will take care of filing the unfair dismissal claim on time, communicating with the employer or their legal representatives, negotiating an amicable solution, and representing you before the Labour Court.
Throughout the entire process, we keep you transparently informed about all steps and coordinate important decisions closely with you.
