We are Up-To-Date on Changes in the Labor Law Field and new Court Decisions
A legal question needs careful and individual analysis of its issues. This is particularly true in the area of labor and employment law. Labor and employment law provisions and interpretations are subject to frequent reforms and revisions by 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.

We advise our clients in the areas of:
- the law regulating industrial relations,
- the law on work committees,
- the law concerning written cautions,
- the law on labor leasing,
