Chambers Review
The law firm Schoenherr houses a well-respected employment law practice, often advising clients from the energy, finance, healthcare and education sectors on the full spectrum of labour law questions. The team is particularly visible in proceedings in and out of court pertaining to terminations and bonus disputes. Additionally, the law firm offers expertise in handling works council matters. With its excellent M&A department, Schoenherr is equally well placed to assist with acquisitions and investment-related employment mandates. In the wake of COVID-19, the law firm remains a trusted adviser to clients regarding home office and flexible working issues.
