The global nature of the collective actions in which Seitz Rechtsanwaelte Steuerberater appears is indicative of the firm’s international presence. The group itself operates out of a total of four German locations, principally in the energy, automotive, technology, real estate and life sciences sectors, providing a range of strategic advice in these sectors. The group is formed of Jens Günther, who is at the forefront of the group’s work assisting international companies with digitisation projects in their German locations, while founder and name partner Stefan Seitz is highly engaged in restructuring projects and collective bargaining issues; such projects are also areas of expertise for the wider group. In particular, Kathrin Bürger stands out for collective bargaining matters, while Wolfgang Lipinski is key for complex restructuring and transformation projects, assisting clients with reducing staff numbers. Maximilian Schmidt is an expert in sports labour law.
