Paula Wernecke advises international and national groups of companies on labor law and labor relations topics, in particular on restructuring (e.g. outsourcing, transfer of business). She regularly negotiates with works councils and trade unions over works constitutions and collective bargaining agreements as well as social compensation plans.
