In this series, Barry Stanton, Managing Partner, is talking to his European colleagues with whom he has worked on numerous projects about five things we should know about employment law in their country.
In this episode, Barry will be speaking to Daniela Hangarter-Sperling and Julian Leicht from Hangarter Legal, about German employment law. One of the main topics is that of "wet ink" signatures. In an era where digital reigns supreme, learn why Germany clings to this traditional requirement and how it could impact international employers financially. Daniela and Julian clarify the realities of statutory severance entitlements and reveal why many disputes end up in court to avoid the risk of employee reinstatement after protracted litigation and the employee receives a severance which is negotiated between the parties.
