About

Provided by Streiff von Kaenel

Streiff von Kaenel's employment law team advises and represents both employers and employees in all employment law matters in various industries. Employers are represented from out-of-court advice, i.e. the drafting of internal regulations (i.e. standard employment contracts, general terms and conditions of employment, expense and bonus regulations etc.), to representation in court in the event of disputes. The represented employers are active in a variety of industries, particularly pharmaceuticals, banking, insurance, aviation, consulting, and media.

Our firm has extensive experience in mass redundancies, advising and assisting both employers and employee associations in the negotiation of social plans. The team also has great expertise, particularly in recent cases, in the area of internal investigations of suspected criminal acts by employees, where companies consult us both as independent experts and for advice on the proper conduct of internal investigations. Further, we have considerable experience in the area of public employment law, where we advise various municipalities and state authorities in conflict situations with employees and represent them in court. Moreover, our team has broad expertise in the field of collective labour law and regularly provides expert opinions on contentious legal issues.
