We assist you in negotiations with works councils and trade unions to achieve sustainable and legally compliant outcomes. Our services include drafting works agreements and other collective agreements, as well as offering expert litigation support and strategic advice in legal disputes related to co-determination.

Our goal is to safeguard your business interests while ensuring a constructive dialogue with employee representatives.
