Works agreements are key instruments for shaping working conditions within a company. As binding agreements between the employer and the works council, they establish legally effective rules for all employees within the business. Our lawyers provide comprehensive support in drafting works agreements – from the initial concept through to their conclusion.

Tailor-Made Agreements with Legal Certainty
We draft individual works agreements while taking collective agreements, employment law requirements, and company policy into account. In doing so, a distinction must be made between voluntary, enforceable, and mandatory works agreements and so-called free (non-genuine) works agreements.
Our advice covers not only drafting, but also the strategic conduct of negotiations with the works council or other employee representative bodies. The aim is to achieve a practical and balanced arrangement that will prove sustainable in the long term.
Duration, Amendment, and Termination
Works agreements may be concluded for either a fixed or an indefinite term. Depending on their structure, different rules apply to their duration, termination, or replacement. We also advise you on the review and termination of existing works agreements – in a legally compliant and solution-oriented manner.
