In labour law, the interests of employees, works councils and trade unions often and naturally differ from those of employers. In this area of conflict, LLR develops practical, client-oriented solutions.
We mainly represent employers, but have always been a sought-after contact for executives, other employees and, last but not least, professional athletes. A smaller part of our practice group also works for works councils.
The focus of our activities is, in addition to the constant support of the daily operational personnel work including the change of operational structures and procedures, also in the consulting and support of the restructuring of companies. This includes all questions relating to operational changes, including personnel adjustments, outsourcing and changes in working conditions.
In addition to advice including contractual arrangements, negotiations with works councils, trade unions, employees and their representatives are as much a part of our daily practice as the necessary implementation of arbitration proceedings and legal disputes up to the Federal Labour Court.
We also advise lawyers, physicians, pharmacists, etc. on their position in the company and on exemption from compulsory insurance in statutory pension insurance. We also assist employers in tax audits of the German pension insurance. Our specialist knowledge also includes observing the particularities of members of chambered professions.
In addition, we have particular experience in the design of working time systems, in health protection and in data protection law.
At the interface to IP/IT law, we also protect the claims of companies, particularly in the area of employee invention law.
As experienced commercial lawyers, we offer realisable solutions in all areas of labour law and enforce them, if necessary also in teams and interdisciplinary with our colleagues.
If desired, we can also train you and your employees in all aspects of labour law. We are happy to come to you, but we also have modern training facilities at our disposal.
