Compliance in Employment Law

In recent years, both larger and smaller companies have repeatedly come under the scrutiny of supervisory authorities and public prosecutors. It was not uncommon for these investigations to reveal that either essential employment law regulations were not observed or that a reasonable compliance structure (e.g. code of conduct, employee training, whistle-blowing hotline) was either not implemented at all or only half-heartedly.

A yellow construction helmet, rolled-up blueprints, a gavel, and a yellow spirit level are arranged on a gray surface. The scene represents construction, planning, and legal aspects within a building context.

Prevention is the top priority. Together with you, we analyse the risk areas in your company and develop tailor-made solutions to newly develop a compliance structure or to adapt an existing compliance structure and then implement it in a legally effective manner.

In the event of violations, we will assist you in clarifying the facts of the case in compliance with the provisions of employment law and advise you on the possible sanctions to be taken by the persons involved (e.g. termination, enforcement of claims for damages).

This includes in particular:

  • Needs analysis with regard to the concrete problem areas under labour law in your company
