Employment Law

Wherever people bear responsibility under high pressure, employment-law questions arise that demand specific expertise in healthcare. Employing foreign staff involves considerable bureaucratic hurdles.

We advise employers in healthcare comprehensively: in the process of recruiting management and staff, in the legally sound employment of foreign personnel, in drafting employment contracts and senior-physician contracts, in negotiating works and service agreements, and in dealings with associations. Particular attention here goes to developing strategy and tactics in employment-law disputes. In the event of conflict, we advise and represent our clients out of court and in court – for example, in unfair-dismissal proceedings, formal warnings, and employment-law disputes. We are as familiar with the particularities of the TV-Ärzte or the TVöD/TVL as we are with the typical areas of conflict in the care sector.

The same applies to collective-law questions: works agreements, the co-determination rights of the works or staff council, and cooperation with employee representative bodies are part of everyday employment law in healthcare institutions.

Employment law in healthcare is not a standard case – it is a field of law with its own rules. We know these rules.
