Germany > Employment Tier 2
Seitz Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater's holistic consulting approach culminates in major employment law projects and restructurings which often include business model realignments, work 4.0 topics as well as changes in collective bargaining and co-determination structures; Marc Werner is a key contact for this. This offering is complemented by intersectional competence in insolvency employment law, compliance expertise and transactional support including post-merger integration. Counsel Maximilian Schmidt covers sports employment law, while Stefan Seitz regularly applies his individual employment law experience for senior executives and Thomas Kania primarily advises on collective employment law. In response to an increased number of instructions pertaining to employment law digitization, Stephan Pötters and Johannes Traut made partners in January 2022; both are dedicated to data protection and IT law issues.Practice head(s):
