Lawyers for Social / Human Rights

The German Supply Chain Act has once again increased the focus on the responsibility of companies to ensure that human rights are observed in their supply chains and value chains. However, guaranteeing safe, fair and non-discriminatory working conditions has been challenging companies in many ways for several years. The CMS lawyers for Social Issues / Human Rights support companies in mastering these challenges through legally sound concepts for sustainable corporate action.

Since almost every company today is internationally intertwined in one way or another, the topics of human rights and social issues almost always involve observing working conditions and production conditions in other countries as well as foreign laws. As part of the global CMS network, our Social Issues / Human Rights lawyers are well prepared to identify risks for their clients at home and abroad, to identify the relevant due diligence obligations in contractual relationships and, if necessary, to defend against a claim by potential injured parties.

Our Social Issues / Human Rights lawyers advise on due diligence and reporting obligations under the CSR Directive, the Conflict Minerals Regulation and the German Supply Chain Act. In the same manner, our lawyers deal with social aspects of employment (including occupational health and safety, sustainable remuneration concepts, diversity & inclusion) and transformation processes towards sustainability (conversion of the product portfolio, sustainable corporate and operational structures). Here, our lawyers for Social Issues / Human Rights support you from strategic preparation through the implementation of your corporate decisions on site
