Labor & Employment Law

WINHELLER Attorneys at Law offer expert legal advice and representation in and out of court in all matters referring to German labor and employment law. We mainly represent employers which means that most of our clients are either medium-sized German companies or foreign companies doing business in Germany. Occassionally, we also represent executive staff.

Labor and employment law provisions and interpretations are subject to frequent reforms and revisions by the legislature and the courts. These reforms and revisions significantly affect and influence existing employer-employee relations. We help our clients keep their individual labor relations up-to-date and resolve any legal difficulties that arise.

Our legal advice covers the entire labor and employment law spectrum from the beginning of employer-employee relationships to notice of termination and termination agreements. We advise our clients on regulations concerning industrial relations, work agreements between employers and staff representatives, and collective agreements between employers and trade unions. We work out agreements between the company and its work committee to ease economic disadvantages for employees in the event of changes in the company structure.

Legal proceedings bind personal and financial resources. Therefore, it has always been our intention to go for solutions without calling the courts and to avoid any conflicts by arranging and negotiating fair and equitable contracts, whenever possible. In case a conflict arises, we are there to find a quick and durable solution.
