From employment contracts to termination agreements

Legally compliant contract drafting for the practice

This training is held in German.
Efficient contracts and clear wording avoid disputes and ensure the greatest possible flexibility for the employer. Omissions in the drafting often only become apparent when it is no longer possible to correct them. In many cases, this then becomes very expensive for the employer - but it doesn't have to be. In this training, you will learn how to draft employment contracts and termination agreements in a way that avoids disputes between the parties, taking into account current case law and legislation.
