Binder Grösswang
Partner, specialised in employment and data protection law.
Providing an ‘excellent level of service’, Binder Grösswang’s ‘very well-established employment practice’ is especially recommended for advising on mass redundancies, social plan negotiations, terminations, and management changes, with clients regularly instructing the team to handle issues in the finance and manufacturing sectors. The team is jointly steered by Horst Lukanec and Angelika Pallwein-Prettner: Lukanec offers particular experience with employment matters in the context of corporate restructurings and regularly represents clients in contentious proceedings, while Pallwein-Prettner chiefly handles matters at the intersection of data protection and employment law. Sabine Apfl-Trompeter covers employment aspects of M&A and also regularly advises on redundancies.
