Employment Law in Germany.
When a dismissal lands on your desk or a difficult conversation is announced for tomorrow morning, structured action protects more than emotion ever could. Law Firm CP represents employees and employers in Munich, Nuremberg, Berlin, Stuttgart and Düsseldorf.
Three weeks. That is the legal window in which a dismissal can be challenged in Germany. Within that window, careful preparation often makes the difference between a forced exit and a fair settlement.
Why the first three weeks decide everything.
German employment law sets a strict twenty one day deadline to challenge a dismissal before the labour court. Miss it, and the notice usually stands. Use it well, and the conversation often shifts from departure to terms.
Christos Perperidis structures every case around the leverage that genuinely exists. A formal action filed in time creates the procedural pressure that makes serious negotiations possible. Severance, references, post contractual clauses and timing all become open again.
Three weeks, no extension
The deadline to file a Kündigungsschutzklage runs from receipt of the notice. Bring the document in immediately.
Read before you sign
Termination agreements, settlements and side letters always deserve a careful second look. Most can still be improved.
Documentation as foundation
Emails, performance reviews, witnesses. A precise record turns a contested narrative into a clear case.
Strategy over reaction
Each step is planned, not improvised. The goal is the strongest possible outcome for your career and your finances.
Where we represent you.
From the first conversation about a possible exit to the final hearing before the labour court. Each case receives the same composed and meticulous attention.
Dismissals & wrongful termination
Ordinary, extraordinary, redundancy or conduct based. Every notice deserves a precise legal review within days.
Termination agreements
Severance, references, garden leave and waiting periods. Every clause carries financial weight.
Employment contracts
Drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts and side agreements before the signature, not after.
Labour court proceedings
Representation in conciliation hearings, chamber hearings and appeals before German labour courts.
Workplace conflict & bullying
Documentation, mediation and, where necessary, legal action against systematic mistreatment at work.
Discrimination claims
Claims under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) for discriminatory dismissals, hiring or work conditions.
References & certificates
Strategic review and correction of work references that quietly undermine your next career step.
Counsel for employers
Composed advice on restructurings, dismissals, contracts and litigation, with a clear sense of risk.
