Labor & Employment

from employment contracts to mandatory arbitration

We advise Austrian and foreign companies on all matters relating to individual and collective labor law. Starting with the day-to-day business of every HR manager (e.g. working hours, parental leave or vacation), through contentious employment law, such as representing employers before courts and administrative authorities (contested terminations, etc.), to the impact of labor law on your specific projects, for example concerning issues of restructuring and business transfers.

There is no labor law issue we cannot solve. Our team is looking forward to navigating you safely from the beginning to the end of employment relationships and far beyond.
