Legal consulting and in- and out-of-court representation for all employment law matters

WINHELLER Attorneys at Law offer expert legal advice and representation in and out of court in all German employment law matters. Most of our clients are either medium-sized German companies or foreign companies doing business in Germany. We also represent executive staff.

Up-to-date on changes in the German labor law field

Labor and employment law provisions and interpretations are subject to frequent reforms and revisions by the German legislature and courts. These reforms and revisions significantly affect and influence existing employer-employee relations. By taking these changes into account, we help our clients keep their individual labor relations policies, procedures and documents up-to-date and resolve any new legal challenges that arise.

Our legal advice covers the entire employment law spectrum from the beginning of employer-employee relationships to notice of termination, mediation, arbitration and litigation, as well as termination agreements.

We also advise our clients on regulations concerning industrial relations, work agreements between employers and staff representatives, and collective agreements between employers and trade unions. And in the event of changes in the company structure, we work out agreements between the company and its work committee to minimize disruptions.

Avoiding conflicts

Legal proceedings consume personal and financial resources. Therefore, at WINHELLER it is always our first intention to avoid conflicts by arranging and negotiating fair and equitable contracts. In the event of conflict, we prioritize quick and durable out-of-court solutions. If litigation is unavoidable, we represent our clients in courts throughout Germany.

We advise our clients in the areas of:

the law regulating industrial relations
the law on work committees and work councils
the law concerning written cautions
the law on labor leasing
the law concerning procuration and corporate power of attorney
employee data protection in Germany
corporate co-determination in Germany
regulations concerning executives
posting of workers
mergers, acquisitions and sales of companies and shutdowns of companies and all relevant labor law consequences

We also draft:

temporary and indefinite labor contracts
management service agreements
termination agreements
collective agreements between employers and trade unions
agreements between a company and its work council/committee to ease economic disadvantages for employees in the event of changes in the company structure
