ARQIS' employment practice scores points with expertise in transactions as well as restructuring and reorganisation. The latter also covers assistance with staff reduction measures, including negotiations with unions and works councils on reconciliation of interests and social plans. Matters on compliance, outsourcing, New Work and flexible working hours represent other frequent instructions, although recently the practice has been particularly active in works council remuneration. For the latter area, practice head Andrea Panzer-Heemeier is the key contact; she also handles issues related to stock corporation and corporate law. Counsel Anja Mehrtens is another key team member and advises on company pension schemes as well as transactions and restructuring.
