Employment Law
Employment law plays an increasingly important role in corporate law restructuring and transactions. Negotiating company agreements and collective bargaining agreements with works councils and trade unions in particular requires not only competent legal knowledge, but also negotiation and strategic skills.
The current work environment is changing due to the use of new media, demographic change and increasing global exchange. These changes, which are summarized under the term “work 4.0”, influence the way people act in companies.
