Signing too quickly
A proposal from the employer is usually not the endpoint, but the beginning of a negotiation.

What do you receive advice about?
Concrete assessment of your situation
The consultation is intended to quickly get to the heart of the matter. You can ask your questions, and we will assess what is legally sound.
Dismissal or impending dismissal
We assess what your employer is and is not allowed to do, which dismissal procedure applies, and how to respond wisely.
Settlement Agreement
We check whether the proposal is correct, whether your unemployment benefit rights are sufficiently protected, and where there is room for negotiation.
Compensation and next steps
You will receive advice on severance pay, salary, exemption from work, end date, non-compete clause, and the best next step.
Do not sign the first proposal immediately.
A settlement agreement is almost always negotiable. First, have it assessed whether the proposal is in your best interest.

Avoid wrong choices
Why personal advice first?
Speed is important when being dismissed, but hasty decisions can turn out to be costly. A personal consultation prevents you from agreeing to terms that are not right for you.
Without legal advice
With personal advice
Uncertainty regarding unemployment benefits
Check on consequences for unemployment benefits and end date
Agreeing to the proposal too quickly
Insight into negotiation space
Lack of clarity regarding compensation and wages
Advice on compensation, salary, vacation days, and final settlement
Reacting from emotion
Strategically determining what you say and don't say
Pay attention to this
Common mistakes during dismissal
Ignore unemployment benefits
An incorrectly formulated agreement can affect your entitlement to unemployment benefits.
Misestimating compensation
In addition to the transition payment, salary, vacation days, bonus, exemption, and legal costs may also be relevant.
Reacting emotionally
An ill-considered response to your employer could work against you later. Have your position assessed first.
A quick check-up can make a big difference.
With just one conversation, you often already know which points you need to adjust, discuss, or avoid.
