As a firm specialising in employment law, Littler advises on all individual and collective law issues. Its focus rests on restructuring and transformation, including staff reductions, as well as whistleblowing, global mobility and residence rights. The importance of the latter was underlined with the arrival of salary partner Martina Schlamp from ADVANT Beiten in November 2023. Other mainstays include advice on remuneration, working time recording and company pension schemes, in which the firm recently observed an increase in instructions. Thomas Griebe, who is experienced in negotiations with employee representatives, Dagmar Lessnau (co-determination and works constitution law), Jan-Ove Becker (technology and media sectors) and Frauke Biester-Junker, who is adept at employment litigation, are key contacts. Andre Gieseler (works constitution, collective bargaining and industrial action law) made salary partner in January 2024.
