Individual employment law governs the legal relationship between an individual employee and their employer. It is one of the most complex and practically relevant areas of law — work affects everyone. Since 1989 gross::rechtsanwaelte has advised and represented both employers and employees in all aspects of individual employment law — from drafting contracts to litigation before the labour courts, higher labour courts and the Federal Labour Court (Bundesarbeitsgericht).
