Services
I`m not just a lawyer, but a versatile professional with a plethora of experience and knowledge in the fields listed below
1
Consultation
Industrial Labour Law is a complex issue in Germany as over 4.000 Acts, Rules and Regulations are applicable to any single employment relationship. My consultation expertise draws not only on my professional training but also on over two decades of working in German companies und having indepth cultural knowledge of conducting business the German way!

Training
Collective Agreements and especially Works Councils can add further complexity for foreign companies conducting business in Germany. Very often, foreign leaders and managers are not aware of or fully understand the German concepts of codetermination. Training leaders and managers ahead of a task or on the job will help avoid costly and timely pitfalls!

HR-Professional
Many German companies have transformed their personell departments from administrative functions to business partnerships over the past two decades. Others lag behind. With an integral understanding of the legal framework for Human Resources in Germany and equipped with an MBA in Strategic Management, I have extensive experience building and transforming HR!
