The frequent complaints heard about the lack of flexibility in labour law often overlook the possibilities for appropriate drafting of employment contracts. Employers who resort to “standard contracts” give away these possibilities for their companies. Our advice takes the new challenges arising from the reform of the law on obligations for the subsequent drafting of contracts by including judicial control of the contents of contracts and transparency requirements in labour law as well into consideration.

We draft legally sound and flexible employment contracts. We adapt contracts to practical requirements using flexible work time systems (e.g. work time accounts or on-call work) and modern, performance-based remuneration systems. We also provide advice on the flexibilisation possibilities offered by shop and collective bargaining agreements.
