Employment Law Consulting | GordonAndPims Germany

Why Employment Law Matters in Germany

A mid-sized company issues a termination notice, confident the paperwork is in order — only to face a wrongful dismissal claim three weeks later because one clause in the employment contract conflicted with the Kündigungsschutzgesetz. Situations like this are not rare, and the financial and reputational cost of getting employment law wrong in Germany can be severe.

GordonAndPims works with businesses to close those gaps before they become court proceedings, reviewing employment structures, advising on compliance with German labour statutes, and standing alongside clients when disputes cannot be avoided.

Our Approach

German Law Applied

We advise exclusively within German employment law framework, ensuring clients receive precise, current guidance aligned with Kündigungsschutzgesetz and labour statutes.

Early Intervention

Most employment disputes could have been resolved earlier. We work upstream, identifying risks before they escalate into litigation.

Multilingual Support

Many clients manage international teams. Employment law documentation and advice is provided in English and German with equal precision.

Contract Review

We ensure employment contracts comply with the Nachweisgesetz and all mandatory written terms required under German law.

Dispute Resolution

When disputes escalate, we conduct rapid reviews of grievances, Arbeitsgericht claims, and threatened injunctions to protect your interests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Termination in Germany is governed by strict procedural and substantive rules, particularly under the Kündigungsschutzgesetz for companies with more than ten employees. GordonAndPims advises on timing, notice periods, grounds for termination, and documentation requirements to minimize legal exposure.

Several issues require immediate attention: employment contracts must comply with the Nachweisgesetz; minimum wage requirements under the Mindestlohngesetz must be observed; and works council obligations apply if you have more than five employees. We guide you through these from day one.

When a dispute is already in motion — through formal grievance, Arbeitsgericht claim, or threatened injunction — we conduct a rapid review of relevant documents, assess your legal position, and develop a swift resolution strategy to limit exposure.

We provide employment law advice and documentation in both English and German with equal precision and compliance, making us ideal for international teams and multinational operations.
