Employment & management
The fight against undeclared work and illegal temporary employment, the undermining of the minimum wage or the issue of bogus self-employment – the authorities have been keeping a close eye on the world of work for years.
And no longer just in supposedly particularly vulnerable sectors such as construction or the hospitality industry.
Misconduct related to the workplace is now punished in a wide variety of ways, as an administrative offense or even as a criminal offense.
In the event of violations, the persons involved face high fines, sometimes imprisonment, as well as fines for the company – plus reputational damage that may be difficult to repair. The new competition register, in which breaches of the law by companies are recorded, also carries the risk of being excluded from public contracts.
We advise and represent companies and managers in all matters relating to criminal employment law. In addition to defending cases, we are particularly at the side of companies when it comes to preventing criminally relevant violations through effective compliance.
We supplement our expertise in commercial criminal law with knowledge of labor and social security law, tax and duty law on a case-by-case basis.
Typical topics:
- Infidelity at the expense of the company
- Non-payment of social security contributions
- Accusation of bogus self-employment
- Illegale Arbeitnehmerüberlassung/-entsendung
- Accidents at work and suspected non-compliance with safety regulations
You can count on us:
- Managers
- Managing Director
- Board members
- Companies from all sectors
- (Employment law) law firms wishing to supplement their specialist criminal law knowledge
