The established boutique is a master of the entire spectrum of employer advice and has respected partners with their own profile at all 3 offices. It offers specialised advice, in particular on restructuring, occupational pension schemes and compliance. In particularly sensitive cases, companies like to rely on the experienced name partner, for example in investigations into competition law offences. In addition to compliance advice, the restructuring business has also picked up recently, with Spielberger significantly expanding its advice to Gerry Weber. Meanwhile, Beck, who is highly praised by clients and competitors alike, succeeded in expanding her work for regular client Berlin Chemie from occupational pension advice to current topics such as supply chain compliance or AI in employment relationships. With the renewed appointment of a salary partner, the firm also shows that it is serious about promoting young talent.

“The boutique is one of the established players in employment law because it has covered all relevant topics from occupational pension schemes to restructuring with experienced advisors. Most recently, it has been busy with mandates in connection with working hours, Evidence Act (Nachweisgesetz) and the Whistleblower Directive. Restructuring advice also picked up. Last year, Altenburg strengthened its Munich office with an experienced partner who has good contacts with management consultancies and insolvency law firms. In general, the boutique is a popular point of contact for law firms from other fields, with whom it advises on mandates at the interface to corporate law, compliance and many other transactions. The fact that Altenburg is also able to promote its own young talent is shown by the feedback from clients and competitors about Stark, who was promoted to salary partner last year.”
