“Your success is my claim: employment law expertise that creates added value and entrepreneurial success!”

With clear words and a focus on the solution, I will advise you on the structuring options under collective bargaining, works constitution and individual law. Whether collective bargaining, reconciliation of interests or social plan negotiations, conciliation bodies or individual employment law – we will find a way.

Dear Christian, what does our promise “To make it simple, but significant” mean to you?

“For me, employment law is not a “right to prevent”. Used correctly, it is a versatile “toolbox” for achieving entrepreneurial, operational and personal goals in a complex working environment.”

Forcing success – with tactical preparation, assertiveness and negotiating skills.

You are prepared, negotiate successfully and the result lasts: Christian Althaus accompanies you unerringly with expertise, empathy and skill.

Tactical preparation

In order to achieve the goal, the way there must be cleverly prepared.

The entire repertoire

If you want to negotiate successfully, you have to cover everything: Tough on the matter without giving up the chance to reach an agreement.

Persistent negotiator

There is always movement in negotiations, but that is no reason not to stand firm.
