Wenger Plattner's employment team, led by Roland Bachmann, is recognised for advising companies and high-profile individuals on employment disputes, with a focus on bonus-related litigation and issues stemming from the termination of senior executives. The team handles a variety of cross-border assignments, non-compete matters and the employment aspects of restructurings, M&A and insolvency proceedings. Bachmann's employment expertise lies primarily in contentious matters, although he is also sought by clients requiring assistance with obtaining work permits.
