Labor law

A competitive environment and technological change require a high degree of responsibility and flexibility from companies and employees. Labor law can be leveraged as an important corporate-governance tool, in particular for the design of business structures and steering of work processes. Our experienced labor-law specialists advise small, mid-sized and major companies as well as executives on all individual and collective labor-law issues. We represent our clients in negotiations in and out of court as well as before the conciliation committee.
