Gleiss Lutz is one of the top addresses for German employment advice and impresses with its experience in management consulting, company pension schemes and company co-determination as well as in negotiations on reconciliation of interests and social plan negotiations with works councils as part of restructuring and reorganisation processes. Recently, the practice also increasingly assisted with temporary employment, whistleblower protection and compliance. Christian Arnold, who is experienced in concluding and terminating employment contracts with board members and managing directors, is one of the key contacts, as is Steffen Krieger, who frequently advises on insolvency-related and transaction-related issues. Thomas Winzer (variable remuneration systems, restructuring) heads the team, which saw Jens Günther, who is experienced in collective bargaining and works constitution law, leave for Seitz in June 2024. Kathrin Haußmann (employee data protection, compliance and co-determination) left the team at the turn of the year 23/24 and is now self-employed.
