Employment law attorney for businesses
As a director or HR professional, you need to move quickly when dealing with legal personnel issues. A reorganization with economic layoffs, a long-term sick employee or a termination with a settlement agreement of a dysfunctional employee – you want legal certainty without fuss.
Mistakes can cost your company significant money. Legislation changes, interests diverge, and you want to stay ahead of problems. We ensure your decisions are legally sound and contribute to a healthy, future-proof organization.
We understand how businesses operate because we have experience in the business world ourselves. We know the challenges that management and HR face and offer legal solutions that align with practice.
We offer specific solutions
Underperformance and dismissal cases
An employee is not performing adequately, but simply dismissing them can create legal and financial risks. We guide the process from building a case file to a legally sound solution, helping you avoid costly procedures.
Employment conditions and personnel policy
Unclear employment conditions lead to disputes, dissatisfied employees, and legal claims. We ensure that employment contracts, employee handbooks, and HR policies are legally correct and future-proof.
Reorganizations
A reorganization raises questions about selection criteria, communication with the works council, and legal pitfalls. We guide the process from start to finish, ensuring your organization changes smoothly without unnecessary risks. Download our whitepaper here.
Absence management
Long-term absence brings high costs and complex legislation. We not only help with reintegration and the Gatekeeper Improvement Act, but also think proactively to prevent absence problems.
Freelancers and Flexible Workforce
Improper contracts and false self-employment can lead to additional taxes and fines. We make sure your flexible employment relationships are legally sound and your business remains agile without risk.
