Dr. Julius Arden

Julius Arden advises domestic and international companies and investors on individual and collective employment law. A focus of his practice is the employment law aspects of corporate transactions, including due diligence, contract drafting, transfers of undertakings, carve-outs, and post-closing integration.

A further focus is employment law in insolvency and restructuring. Julius advises companies, insolvency administrators, and investors on workforce measures in crisis and insolvency situations, on transferring restructurings (übertragende Sanierungen), and on setting up transfer companies.

In collective employment law, he negotiates with works councils and trade unions, primarily on reconciliation of interests and social plans (Interessenausgleich and Sozialplan), and represents companies in conciliation board proceedings. He also advises managing directors, management board members, and supervisory boards on service and termination agreements, compensation systems, and management liability. He conducts individual and collective proceedings before the labor courts.

In addition, Julius advises on domestic and international distribution law, in particular on long-term supply agreements in the automotive industry.
