Executives
Senior managers and executives often require strategic legal advice that goes beyond standard employment issues. We assist with executive contracts, bonus arrangements, termination negotiations and the protection of your professional interests.
Employers
We advise businesses of all sizes on employment law matters, including employment contracts, dismissals, restructuring, HR policies and day-to-day personnel issues. Our focus is on practical, legally sound solutions that support your business objectives.
Works Councils
Works councils rely on clear legal guidance when exercising their participation and co-determination rights. We provide practical advice on collective employment law and support works councils in negotiations and disputes with employers.
Our employment law practice covers the full spectrum of individual and collective employment law. Whether you need advice on a single workplace issue or long-term legal support, we are here to provide practical and strategic guidance.

As specialist lawyers for employment law (Fachanwälte für Arbeitsrecht), we combine extensive experience with in-depth knowledge of German employment law. We assess your situation, explain your options clearly and develop a strategy tailored to your objectives.
Clear and Straightforward Advice
German employment law can be complex – our advice does not have to be. We explain the legal situation in clear terms, identify risks and opportunities, and tell you what the next steps should be.
Fast Response When Time Matters
Employment law often involves strict deadlines and decisions that cannot wait. We therefore place particular emphasis on prompt appointments and efficient communication.
Local & Nationwide
We offer personal consultations at our offices in Aschaffenburg, Fulda and Würzburg, but you do not need to be located near one of our offices. We advise and represent clients throughout Germany. Consultations can be conducted by telephone or video conference, making professional legal advice easily accessible wherever you are.
Personal. Strategic. Solution-Oriented.
Every employment law matter is different. We do not offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Our advice is based on your individual situation, your objectives and the legal and economic implications of the available options.
