Labor Law

Raupach advises national and international companies of various branches and sizes in the whole range of individual and collective employment law. Aside transactions, reorganizations and restructurings we provide consulting in the normal course of operational activities and in several areas of special expertise. We carry out single projects or take care of your everyday employment law problems as an external legal department. If required, we support our clients with well-rehearsed teams extending across our German locations or even combining specialists from our international partner firms. We are aware of the particular interests in employment law which are affected by constructive cooperation between employees and employers and social criteria on the one and economical aspects on the other hand and are always aiming to solve your specific matter in the optimal way - if necessary also in the course of judicial procedures and in front of conciliation boards.
