CMS

CMS fields a sizeable employment team with a nationwide presence which is highly involved in individual employment law matters, from misconduct proceedings and restructuring advice to collective bargaining matters. Amelie Schäfer, a go-to for HR and external personnel compliance, and Sören Seidel, who is key for complex restructurings, head up the team. Such restructurings, also a strength of Gerlind Wisskirchen, form an integral part of the practice, which often acts in a cross-disciplinary manner on international reorganisations and restructurings, spanning from intra-group restructuring between companies to financial restructuring within companies. The group also advises boardrooms, board members and managers alike. Andreas Hofelich, Nina Hartmann and Björn Gaul, key team members, are supported by Saskia Pitzer, who was promoted to partner in January 2025, and is a key name to note for HR compliance. Kai Roters is another core member.
