Dr. Alexander Schmid-Lossberg
Partner (Of Counsel)

I consider it a particularly stimulating challenge to develop practical solutions in the conflict that arises between the rapid changes in our working environment caused by digitization and the slowly changing or static legal framework. In negotiations, I am asserting the client’s interests while striving to achieve an acceptable and sustainable result for all parties in the end, wherever possible.
Dr. Alexander Schmid-Lossberg specializes in collective labor law. He has particular experience in negotiating collective agreements and works agreements.
