Team

The team of the law firm Trebeck & von Broich has been working closely together for many years and some of them already know each other from their joint study days at the University of Cologne. Prior to founding Trebeck & von Broich, all attorneys worked for leading labor and employment law firms. There, they not only implemented various labor and employment law restructurings together, but also sharpened their individual consulting profiles. As a result, the attorneys have developed over the years a perfectly attuned teamwork, which enables them not only to provide ongoing labor and employment law advice, but also to provide labor and employment law support, operational support and implementation for large and highly complex projects within a short period of time.
