Your strategic partner for works councils and staff councils
Capacity to act and legal certainty: we strengthen your committee work
As a works council or staff council, you bear enormous responsibility. Effectively exercising your co-determination and participation rights requires more than just commitment: you need sound legal expertise and a clear strategy to be successful in complex negotiations and conflicts. We are your experienced and specialised legal advisor – naturally in accordance with Section 80 (3) of the Works Constitution Act (BetrVG) and the relevant staff representation laws. Our law firm supports you in exercising your rights strategically, legally and assertively vis-à-vis the agency or employer.
Our services: The pillars of your successful committee work
We offer you comprehensive support in all matters of collective co-determination so that you can fully exercise your control and organisational rights:
1. Negotiation & drafting of regulations
Works agreements/service agreements: Strategic advice and support in the negotiation and conclusion of regulations on key issues (e.g. working time models, mobile working, introduction of IT systems). Legal certainty: Drafting and reviewing regulations to ensure legal compliance and optimal design for the workforce.
2. Enforcement of participation rights (conflict resolution)
Conciliation committee: Representation in conciliation committee proceedings for binding and rapid clarification of disputed issues. Legal representation: Conducting decision-making proceedings before the labour and administrative courts to consistently enforce your co-determination rights.
3. Support during structural changes
Restructuring: Dedicated support during transfers of undertakings, restructuring, outsourcing or staff reduction measures (reconciliation of interests and social plan). Ongoing advice: Clarification of questions regarding the management of the committee and the exercise of your monitoring and initiative rights.
4. Training & know-how transfer
Needs-based training: Individual training courses for your committee on current and relevant topics (e.g. digitalisation, AI, protection against dismissal, working hours legislation). We offer in-depth training courses through our training company Arbeitsrechtsforum Bodensee GmbH. Practical knowledge: Transfer of know-how for the effective design and organisation of your co-determination and participation procedures.
