The legal relationship between employers and employees is governed by labour law. Everyone is impacted by labour law at some point in time – not only companies and institutions, but also private individuals. Though most people tend to associate labour law with rules on dismissal, its reach is actually much wider.

– the drawing up, assessment and termination of employment contracts /dismissal;
– the drawing up, assessment and termination of management and secondment agreements;
– the drawing up and assessment of management regulations;
– the drawing up, assessment and amendment of individual and collective terms of employment (e.g. non-competition and non-solicitation clauses);
– the supervision of individual and collective dismissals;
– the supervision of reorganisations, restructuring projects, mergers and acquisitions;
– advising on employee participation rights and holding consultations with trade unions and works councils;
– negotiating and drawing up social plans;
– advising on working conditions and occupational disability;
