Preventive legal advice

Drafting legally compliant employment contracts

A well-drafted employment contract is the foundation of every employment relationship and your most important protection against future disputes. I review your existing employment contracts for weaknesses and draft new contracts that are both legally compliant and practical. In doing so, I take into account the latest developments in employment law in 2025, including the new possibilities for digital employment contracts.

Clauses relating to working hours, remuneration, secondary employment, confidentiality and non-competition clauses deserve special attention. Ineffective contract clauses can not only cause legal problems, but also lead to unwanted claims. My preventive advice helps you avoid these pitfalls from the outset.

Works agreements and compliance

Modern companies need clear internal regulations that both comply with legal requirements and are practical. I can help you draw up works agreements, work regulations and compliance guidelines. These documents create legal certainty and help to avoid conflicts in advance.

Regulations on working hours, data protection, home office, social media and standards of conduct are particularly important. A well-thought-out compliance structure not only protects against legal risks, but also strengthens the trust of your employees and business partners.

Training and further education

Knowledge is the best protection against legal problems. I offer tailor-made training courses for managers, HR managers and works councils. These training courses provide practical knowledge on current developments in labour law and help to identify and avoid legal risks in everyday working life.

My training topics include legally compliant employee appraisals, proper warnings, dismissal procedures and dealing with difficult employees. Regular training ensures that you are always up to date with the latest case law.

Regular legal check-ups

Just like a medical check-up, your employment law structures should also be reviewed regularly. I offer regular legal check-ups, during which we review your employment contracts, works agreements and processes. This ensures that you always remain legally compliant and can react quickly to changes in case law.

This systematic review helps to identify and remedy weaknesses at an early stage before they become costly problems. At the same time, we ensure that your business processes remain efficient and legally compliant.

Crisis prevention and emergency planning

Any company can face labour law crises. With well-thought-out emergency planning, you'll be ready for tough situations. I'll help you identify crisis scenarios and develop appropriate action plans. This includes procedures for dealing with dismissals, warnings, works council elections and labour law disputes.

Good crisis prevention also includes documenting important processes and training the responsible employees. This enables you to act in a legally compliant manner even in stressful situations and avoid costly mistakes.

Digitalisation and new forms of work

The world of work is changing rapidly, and with it the legal requirements. Home offices, flexible working hours, digital communication and artificial intelligence bring new challenges. I can advise you on how to make these new forms of work legally compliant.

Particularly important issues here are data protection, working time recording and the employer's duty of care. With forward-looking advice, you can reap the benefits of digitalisation without taking any legal risks.

Cost-benefit analysis of preventive counselling

Preventive legal advice is an investment that pays off many times over. The costs of comprehensive advice are significantly lower than the costs of a labour law dispute. A single legal dispute can quickly cost five-figure sums, not to mention the time involved and the damage to your image.

My preventive advice not only saves you money, but also time and stress. You can concentrate on your core business while I ensure that your company is on the safe side when it comes to employment law.
