Our company faced a challenging situation requiring the restructuring of our operations in Germany, which directly impacted employee benefits and employment contracts for our Düsseldorf-based team. Navigating the intersection of German labor law and our U.S. corporate policies was daunting. We engaged Volker Teigelkötter at McDermott Will & Schulte, and his expertise was immediately evident. His dual recognition in Employee Benefits and Labor and Employment Law proved invaluable. Volker didn't just provide legal advice; he crafted a strategic, compliant pathway that respected both jurisdictions. He meticulously explained the nuances of German co-determination laws and pension obligations, translating complex requirements into actionable steps for our Seattle leadership. His five years of focused practice in Düsseldorf meant he had precise, current knowledge of local courts and administrative practices. The process was seamless, and we avoided significant potential liabilities while treating our employees fairly. Volker’s professionalism and deep, practical knowledge made an immensely complex situation manageable. He is a truly exceptional attorney who delivers results.
