Civil Service Law
As a law firm specializing in civil service law, we provide comprehensive and targeted advice and representation to civil servants and public-law corporations. Our activities include both out-of-court advice and representation before administrative courts, higher administrative courts, and the Federal Administrative Court. We provide expert support in all matters relating to civil service law and develop individual, practice-oriented solution strategies.
Key areas of civil service law:
- Appointment and promotion of civil servants
- Salary law and civil service remuneration
- Secondment, transfer, and reassignment
- Retirement and pensioning of civil servants
Particularly in disputes relating to appointments and promotions, swift action is required. Often, seeking interim legal protection before the administrative court is crucial in order to avoid irreversible legal disadvantages. Early legal advice on civil service law is therefore of central importance. As part of our civil service law advice, we naturally also examine whether issues relating to staff representation law—such as the involvement of staff or works councils—are relevant in the specific case. In addition, we represent our clients in civil service law application and appeal proceedings with the aim of achieving an appropriate and efficient solution and avoiding lengthy administrative court litigation wherever possible.
Our consulting and representation services are aimed at:
- Civil servants in local, district, state, and federal administrations
- Public corporations and administrations
- Civil servants of the former state-owned companies Deutsche Post and Deutsche Bahn
