Labour Law
Today’s working world is constantly influenced by National and European Law. Thus, HR managers face new challenges everyday.
With our many years of practical experience, our highly specialized expertise and our ability to determine what is essential, we find economically efficient solutions.
A key asset of our experienced and highly specialised employment law practice is the cooperation with leading experts of our partner KPMG working in the areas of wage tax and social security law. If required, we can also provide interdisciplinary advice on labour law issues such as the introduction of flexitime arrangements and other calculation models, as well as restructuring issues (social plans) and solve everything from a single source.
This is also essential in the field of global mobility: Due to the cooperation with KPMG’s Global Mobility Services teams and Expat Payroll experts, we are in a position to assist you both in connection with short-term cross-border assignments as well as permanent staff relocations.
Working with experienced KPMG experts adds value to a variety of HR challenges – be it the introduction of new compensation models or the handling of forensic investigations.
In addition to strategic advice, one of the main focuses of our practice is the representation of our clients before courts and authorities. With years of experience in the field of labour law litigation, we also represent our clients’ interests in the courtroom.
