Process management for enterprises: People are still talking about the Volkswagen emissions scandal. And this is not the only example that shows that enterprises at home and abroad more and more often need to conduct internal investigations to obtain reliable information. The paramount reason for public reporting is usually a potential relevance in criminal law: in particular corruption offences are often cited. From the point of view of the enterprises, however, it is not only criminal-law, but in particular employment-law aspects that are particularly relevant. For example, employee interviews which are conducted as part of internal investigations are often directly associated with dismissal without notice. In this connection, enterprises need to think about the requirements of employment law at an early date, in order that a later termination of the employment relationship is not invalid and consequently creates new liability risks. Together with our Ius Laboris partner law firms we steer you through international requirements for compliance.
