English-speaking German employment-law specialist
Fatih Bektas, Fachanwalt für Arbeitsrecht at APOS Legal Heidelberg, represents employees and senior executives in dismissal, severance and termination-agreement matters across Germany — in English.
German labour-law cases are filed at the Arbeitsgericht of the employer’s seat or the place of work. We act before any German Arbeitsgericht — proceedings are handled in German on the court file, but you and we communicate entirely in English. Below: the cities where we most frequently act, with city-specific information on local case practice.
