I engaged Gudrun Germakowski to assist with a sensitive employment contract negotiation for a senior role I was offered at a multinational firm with operations in Germany. Her dual expertise in Employee Benefits and Labor and Employment Law was immediately apparent. She meticulously reviewed the non-compete clauses, equity compensation structure, and relocation package, providing clear, strategic advice that protected my interests without derailing the offer. Her recognition in these practice areas is well-deserved, as she navigated the nuances between U.S. and German employment standards with impressive skill. The entire process was handled professionally, and I felt thoroughly represented. My only minor critique is that during the initial week of engagement, response times were occasionally slower than expected, likely due to the time zone difference with Düsseldorf. However, once we established a communication rhythm, it was seamless. I highly recommend Gudrun for anyone dealing with cross-border employment matters.
