The law firm is active nationwide and remains recommended in the field of labor and employment law. It is well known in the market in particular for its advice in connection with compliance mandates. Altenburg here often acts alongside criminal lawyers. In Hamburg too, a competitor testified that the team around Schommer “continues to be very active in expanding its location”. Moreover, the office in Berlin experienced a further boost last year when a partner joined from Gleiss, mainly in the area of advise on company pension schemes. The team furthermore benefits from the newly gained expertise in the recently expanded advice in relation to transactions alongside law firms without own labor and employment law practice, such as for ProSiebenSat.1. Altenburg often is also involved in the secondary labor and employment law integration. Integration zum Zuge. Further personal growth at the associate level hence was logical.”

“Altenburg Fachanwälte für Arbeitsrecht often provide advice at the interfaces with corporate and social security law. The boutique law firm with seven partners has a particularly strong team in Munich, but there are also offices in Berlin and Hamburg. Core clients include the ADAC, ProSieben-Sat.1 and the Federal Employers’ Association of Personnel Service Providers. The “very competent” Stephan Altenburg advised fashion company Escada on redundancies. Tobias Schommer and Andreas Ege were recommended as well. Since 2016, Charlotte Beck, formerly equity partner with Gleiss Lutz, has given the Berlin office a boost.”

“The specialist boutique is recommended in the field of labor and employment law and established nation-wide. It was able to acquire numerous new clients. For example, it now advises Escada on a major restructuring process. In addition, advice on questions of labor and employment law compliance issues has played a larger role. Recently, mandates frequently were acquired via specific cases, where it was able to establish itself through litigation and ongoing comprehensive advice on matter of labor and employment law or assisting in setting up new compliance structures, e.g. at the ADAC (together with Freshfields) or Bavaria Filmstudios. The fact that already at its formation, Altenburg created structures that enable integrated client work from various locations sets it apart from other boutiques with several offices: Personnel capacities hence can be optimally exploited. The Berlin office developed further clout with the addition of Dr. Charlotte Beck, who joined from Gleiss as full partner.”
