Schalast | Labour Law - Schalast Law | Tax
Labour law is a complex and multifaceted area of law that is subject to constant change – from legislation and jurisdiction to practical developments in the world of work. In this sensitive environment, in-depth expertise is crucial. Our labour law practice group offers exactly that: legal excellence, economic understanding and a solution-oriented approach.
For companies and executives
With a cross-locational team of specialized labour law attorneys, we cover the entire spectrum of individual and collective labour law.
For us, however, handling a labour law mandate does not primarily mean going to court, but above all providing preventive advice. Our legal advice begins in the start-up phase of companies and extends to support with restructuring, reorganization after mergers and collective bargaining.
In individual labour law, we offer comprehensive advice, ranging from advice on drafting employment contracts to dismissal protection law, as well as the legal structuring and implementation of extensive personnel measures. Another focus of our advice has developed in supporting companies in negotiations with trade unions and works councils.
Excellent expertise
The exceptional quality of our labour law advice is regularly confirmed by independent rankings and specialist publications. Our practice group and its members have been regularly recommended for years by “WirtschaftsWoche”, “Handelsblatt” and the “Juve ranking”, among others.
Our commitment
Legal clarity, strategic advice and a trusting relationship with our clients – that is what our labour law practice group stands for. With in-depth expertise, many years of experience, and a high level of commitment, we are dedicated to representing your interests.
Through our international network of affiliated first-class law firms (Multilaw), we also support our clients in international projects.
