About
Provided by Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH
Employment
Luther has one of the largest and highest-capacity employment law practices in the German market. While the focus of the advisory services is on collective employment law, the team is also very competent in the area of individual employment law. And something very unusual for a large law firm: Luther has a long tradition of providing top quality advice in all areas of employment law, not only in the context of transactions – even though it goes without saying that Luther’s advisors also provide transaction advice with great expertise. The team advises clients in both the private and the public sector.
Luther provides advice at a national and international level because comprehensive employment law advice often requires taking into account EU law and European jurisprudence, and also because issues involving international aspects account for an increasingly larger share of the advisory services rendered. With offices in Europe and Asia and an international network of partner law firms, Luther is very well positioned worldwide.
