In close cooperation with its corporate and M&A practice groups, Friedrich Graf von Westphalen & Partner's employment practice focuses on restructuring, reorganisations and transactions, while ongoing employment law advice represents another mainstay. From three locations, the group focuses on different areas: Sabine Schröter's team in Frankfurt is adept in assisting hospitals and medical care centres with outsourcing and restructuring measures; In Freiburg, under the leadership of Christoph Fingerle and Stefan Daub, the practice primarily advises medium-sized companies in the context of transactions and restructuring; and in Cologne, under the leadership of Sven Köhnen, the team is experienced in nationwide employment court proceedings; he previously co-led the office with Andreas Imping, who joined ADVANT Beiten as local partner in early 2024.
