Areas of law

Individual labor law, works constitution law, collective bargaining law

RPS Stahmer focuses on the areas of individual labor law, works constitution law and collective bargaining law. Each of these areas of law is not only in the context of national, but also international, in particular European law provisions, which are decisive for our advice. We assist our clients in each of these areas of law, for example in drafting contractual or regulatory texts or in negotiations and also in court disputes.
