A works constitution can benefit a company if both management and works council are guided by the legal model of trustful cooperation. If not, however, codetermination can strongly restrict the room and speed of manoeuvre for companies.

We support companies continuously in all general issues pertaining to works constitution law with the aim of achieving a harmonious relationship with the works council as far as possible without giving up business positions. We conduct negotiations with works councils, draft shop agreements and in cases of dispute devise strategies with you to arrive at a settlement. When differences of opinion can no longer be settled internally in the company, we will support your company before the labour courts and in hearings in the conciliation board. Our aim here is always to achieve a solution that meets the interests of the company and prepares the ground for cooperative collaboration with the works council in the future.
