KLIEMT.Arbeitsrecht

Regularly advising the boards of household name companies during negotiations with councils, including the European Works Council, the employment practice at KLIEMT.Arbeitsrecht stands out for its restructuring expertise, particularly with a view to the restructuring of staff members. Elsewhere, supervisory board and management advice are also core strengths of the group, in addition to its advice on company pensions. The practice can be broken down into dedicated specialised sub practice groups, with focus groups extending to particular digitalisation and data protection, whistleblowing and compliance, restructuring and transformation matters, among others. The management group overseeing the practice includes Michael Kliemt, Barbara Reinhard, Burkard Göpfert, Kara Preedy, Henrik Lüthge and Martin Eisenbeis. This team has been bolstered by a trio of new additions from Osborne Clarke in 2025, including Thomas Leister. Elsewhere, Oliver Vollstädt is a strong constitutional law practitioner who clients turn to for restructuring, employee data protection and related issues.
