Gassmann & Seidel law firm

We support and represent national and international companies in all areas of employment law. In addition, we advise board members, managing directors and employees on all service and labor law issues.

Labor law regulates the legal relationship between employers and employees. Dependent work is done by workers. In addition to the employment relationship as the basic form of dependent work, services can also be provided for another person in a different form and structure. The contracts of board members and managing directors are mostly service contracts that are not subject to labor law in all aspects.

Here, knowledge of the special features is an absolute prerequisite for optimal advice and litigation by an experienced lawyer. Since employment law in particular is strongly influenced by court decisions, regular and thorough training is particularly required in this area. Our specialist lawyers in employment law therefore undergo regular training and provide evidence of this to the Bar Association. Next to it is Dr. Ralf Baur himself works as a university lecturer and trains students in employment law.
