There are many employment lawyers.
But few are as specialised as we are.

INDEPENDENT

We advise exclusively executives, managing directors, and board members. Nationwide. We are independent of employers and therefore free from conflicts of interest. Our clients value the personal attention they receive.
You will not be handed over to a case handler.

PRAGMATIC

We give you practical advice, not theoretical analyses (though we are of course happy to provide those too, should you wish). We do not hide behind legal jargon but give clear, direct guidance. At the same time, we serve as your sparring partner for strategic questions and plans.

We help you restore your reputation following a dismissal, unlawful transfer or unfair appraisal. Where your employment is to be terminated, we fight for the best possible severance package. We do not settle for rule-of-thumb figures.

EFFICIENT

Our many years of experience and specialisation make us fast and efficient. We are a well-coordinated, effective team that has worked together successfully for many years. We know how our opposing parties operate, which allows us to represent your interests to the best possible effect. We do not keep you waiting for days – our response times are short. You are entitled to expect the highest quality from us. We expect nothing less of ourselves. Read what our clients say about us.
