Employment and labour

How can I hire an employee? What conditions apply to terminating employment contracts? May I hire people on a free-lance basis as well? How do I get a visa for my employee?

These are just some of the most recurrent questions entrepreneurs have to face when starting up their business in Germany. We’ve got it covered! Since German labour law tends to protect employees, it’s best to get set up things the right way from the very beginning, in order to avoid nuisances at a later stage.

Regulatory issues

Germany is famous for its all-encompassing regulations covering pretty much any business area. Although this might sound daunting in the first place, most of the times it rather favours business by establishing a clear framework and precise rules. We assist you in navigating them and checking your business model’s feasibility. Sometimes small adaptations might be needed, but there’s always a way to make things work.

Corporate

After incorporation, companies evolve in a way that often results in changes to the shareholding structure. Trasferring shares, setting up an ESOP pool or a stock-option programm, drafting a shareholders’ agreement or taking an investor on board are some of the issues you might be facing. We assist you in finding the best solution to the development of your business activity and, if necessary, to fight your corporate rights in court.
