CONFLICTS WITH THE PERSONNEL

Today more than ever, it is important not to find employees, but personalities. The people who are passionate about their job. Who are willing to give not only 100 percent, but 110 percent. After all, these 10 percent “more” also determine the success of your company. Despite the digitalization, the latest technology and artificial intelligence, the people in the company are irreplaceable.
It’s not about “somehow” filling a job. It is about finding the best employee here and bringing him/her into the company. A task that we can take over. As proven experts, we create a requirement profile and a so-called functional specification in order to find exactly the one person who is suitable for this job. Since we always keep an eye on the interests of both sides, yours as employer and that of the potential employee, we create a symbiosis that will have a profitable effect on your company.

Additionally, we coach your staff on site to prepare them more efficiently for future challenges.

We also help in “dangerous” situations through mediation. If employees have a problem, but do not dare to address it openly, we can offer ourselves as an independent contact.

What are your problems?

  • Is the working atmosphere “poisoned”?
  • Do your employees lack development prospects?
  • Are your employees afraid of their superiors?
  • Do you need support with job interviews?
  • Do you want to run it yourself, but you lack the knowledge here?
  • You don’t know where to find the right employees for your company?
  • Do you not know the conditions under which your staff can best develop in order to achieve the best possible performance?
  • Do you need support with budget planning?
  • Can’t find the right managers?
  • You keep failing to build team leaders?
  • Can’t tell the talker from the doer?
  • Do you have the feeling of being lied to by employees, but cannot prove it?
  • You know that in your company there is stealing, but you cannot find out who it could be?
  • Can’t unmask mixers?
  • Do you have employees in the team who disrupt operational peace and you are unable to solve this problem?
  • You know about disruptive factors in your department, but cannot find out?
  • Is the sick leave too high?
  • Are the employees unreliable?
  • Your employees are indifferent?
  • Your employees are not showing any commitment?
  • Are your employees fall out with each other?

If you can answer even one of these many questions with a yes, danger is in default. The sooner you take action, the faster the problem will be solved. Only then will your company’s success not be jeopardized.

CYBER-ATTACKS

The data security and the data protection are not the same thing. The data security is about effectively protecting your data from theft, loss through system crashes, manipulation or cyber-attacks. The data protection, the so-called backup, refers only to the regular storage and copying of data on external media. While this form of security is possible for everyone, the expert knowledge is required when it comes to the data security, in particular in order to secure IT systems against cyber-attacks in the long term.

The latter can be limited by good prevention, but never completely prevented. Even if these attacks mainly come from outside, it is more and more common for employees to carry out cyber-attacks and act within the company. On the one hand, they want to use this data to enrich themselves personally and, on the other hand, to sustainably damage their employer. In such cases, haste is advised to keep the damage as low as possible. In particular, it is about highly sensitive data that must not fall into the hands of the competition. With regard to artificial intelligence, which links production processes between companies at different locations (around the globe), the risk of cyber-attacks will increase significantly. Even if the highest level of data security can be achieved here, this never applies to 100 percent. In the event of an attack, immediate action must be taken to prevent the worst. Then it is possible to store all electronic traces in a court-safe manner in order to be able to prove involvement in the crime against the judiciary. In this way, criminal, civil and labor law offenses are documented in a court-safe manner.

A special focus in the fight against Internet crime is for us the so-called Advanced Persistent Threat (APT). This is a network attack in which an unauthorized person has gained access to an external company network and remains undetected for as long as possible. It primarily wants to steal data, but does no other damage. However, such an APT attack naturally does extremely high damage because the person will sell these information to the competitors.

Our experts, all of whom have many years of experience in IT data security, can analyze a variety of IT systems and platforms and prepare electronic traces in a court-safe manner. Even if it is anything but easy to identify attacks of any kind, any intruder who stole data as prey always leaves its mark. Our approach is to pursue this.

Do not wait until you are the victim of a cyber-attack, but act now by taking measures to protect your IT systems with all data. We can help you in this issue.

DIGITIZATION IN THE COMPANY

The entrepreneurs still believe that digitization is a niche issue that only affects the internal IT or marketing department. It is not so. The digitization is like an open heart surgery. It covers the entire company and takes no account of existing structures. Whether departments, employees or branches, they all have to be integrated into the digital process. This will mean that previous functions and thus jobs will be eliminated. This does not necessarily mean that employees lose their jobs. The digitization does not always mean that people are always replaced by machines. In fact, this term stands for progress and modernization. In the best case, the employees can be provided with new tasks by being qualified beforehand.

However, the truth is that as an entrepreneur, you can no longer choose to become a part of digitization. You have no other choice. You have to face this challenge. The sooner, the better you are ahead of your competition.

It is therefore extremely important that your employees and managers develop a basic understanding of the digital transformation. However, this is not a process of hours or days, but a continuous process over a longer period. It’s about integrating the company’s strategic direction into the digital age. In addition to the technical implementation, the communication is essential. Increasing networking means that the expectations and the requirements for the communication increase. This applies in particular to the digital presence in the media. Having a page on the Internet is no longer enough. Consumers demand high-quality content, attractive designs and a service that offers them real added value. It should be noted that the connection to the already networked customers must not be lost.

As a result of this development, there is not only a personal and structural reorganization. The cultural orientation takes a crucial position. That is why all areas of a company have to work actively to create a new and digital identity. As quickly as possible. Because under pressure you can rarely achieve a good result. Those who act under pressure may choose the wrong digital solution, which then does not fit the corporate concept. In the worst case, it can even damage the business. This must be prevented. On the one hand, in which you now face the challenge. On the other hand, you can get external experts on board to make your company fit. These experts are able to create a holistic and future-oriented digital concept for your company.

DIGITIZATION AS AN EMPLOYEE

AS AN EMPLOYEE YOU ARE AFRAID OF DIGITIZATION

Out of 900 post-war occupations, only a third remain. The trend continues to fall. According to media reports, every second a new job title created by digitization does not yet exist today. However, this does not mean that people who will lose their jobs in the “old analogue” world can be seamlessly integrated into the digital world. The requirements here are so complex and highly specific that they can only be met by proven experts.

Every revolution so far since the invention of the steam engine improved wealth through the creation of new jobs. Now, however, we are heading towards a world of work that will require significantly fewer people in the future than are still employed today. For the first time since industrialization, we have to be prepared that the digital revolution will not create new prosperity. The existing is not only distributed differently, it also manages with significantly fewer people.

In a study by Oxford University, the scientists write that in the next 20 years, almost half of the jobs in the United States will be lost through automation, artificial intelligence and digitalization. A study by the London School of Economics comes to similar results for Germany. According to this, up to 700 professional groups will be affected by this development. You can answer with a simple question whether your job belongs also to there: “Can my job be replaced by a machine?”

In this case, you run the risk of losing your job someday. Because wherever robots and other devices can be used, no people are needed. The robots work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. They do not get sick, do not need a vacation and do not belong to a trade union or professional association. They work without wages, which is why their acquisition costs pay for themselves quickly. The ongoing operating and maintenance costs are also significantly lower than a monthly salary. That is why the companies cannot avoid following this modern development. If they refused to do so, they would endanger the existence of the company and thus all jobs. So “a few” have to go to stabilize the big picture. If you don’t want to be one of them, you have to act now. If the existing markets will collapse, it will be too late.

SECURITY PERSONNEL

Not only the hate and threat on the Internet is increasing, but also in real life. If doctors are attacked and killed by perpetrators from the public at a congress, this development shows that a public appearance without personal protection is grossly negligent.

With the help of our team, we offer protective measures for people whose life and health are potentially in danger. The most important task for us is the prevention and defense against attacks on the life and limb of the person who we protect, at all levels, including:

  • Business trips (national and international)
  • Private and business area

Our protection team is at your side:

  • Public performances
  • Seminars
  • Fairs
  • Events of all kinds
  • Concert and sports events
  • Hotel
  • Press conferences

Discrete, intelligent and predictive shielding is our priority.

DETECTIVES

Do you have the feeling that your employees stay away from work due to illness, even though they are not exactly that? Do you have the feeling that your employees allege that they are sick in order to pursue a part-time job? Do you have the feeling that employees of your company are in contact with the competitors and exchange sensitive data of your company? Do you have the feeling that your research department is not doing the right thing? Do you feel that the competition has taken measures to sustainably damage you and your company? Then you no longer rely on your feelings, but create facts.

The feelings cannot be used in court. The police also don’t care about your feelings. You have to create certain facts so that the legislator can act in your favor. There are detectives who conduct private investigations to provide you with discreet, fast and reliable information.

Our detective team is specialized in observations, investigations and serious legal information gathering while complying with all legal regulations.

If you need a successful and discreet detective service provider who researches, determines and monitors for you in the business or private field, please contact us. We create clarity, provide information, work discreetly and, depending on the order situation, create legally binding evidence.

PRODUCT PIRACY

Once upon a time the pirates were the seafarers who seized ships on the high seas. It was not only a hard thing, but often also life and death. Before their attack, the pirates did not know how much loot were there and whether any would fall into their hands. This form of piracy is no longer needed today. If you want to “loot”, you don’t need a seaworthy ship or a crew. The laptops, the Internet and the scruples are all it takes to get brands, designs and patents from your kitchen table, so to speak. More and more “crooks” are adopting this path. It has never been so easy to have illegal counterfeit goods from China conveniently sent to you by post over the Internet. Due to the gigantic volume, the German customs are hopelessly overwhelmed and the brand owners watch this hustle and bustle.

This doesn’t have to be!

Anyone wishing to take action against product pirates must have an industrial property right, such as for example; patent, utility model or design or trademark. The effective protection against counterfeit products that even take on the labeling of the original manufacturer can only be achieved by a registered trademark.

It is therefore very important to acquire suitable commercial rights to protect your own products in good time. In the best case, of course, before a product (brand, service, product, idea, etc.) is presented or launched on the market. With regard to inventions and designs, obtaining a property right is legally excluded if the invention or design has already become known to the public at the time of registration.

Due to the ever increasing threat situation, it is more important than ever for brand owners to protect themselves and their customers from product piracy. Even if consumers have become more security-conscious and careful when shopping online, fraudsters are becoming increasingly tricky and professional. Tackling these criminals online is difficult, but not impossible with a view to your own company. To do this, they need a comprehensive brand protection strategy that uses new technologies such as B. Includes Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics. This enables companies to live up to their responsibility towards customers and prevent damage on both sides.

PREVENT WARNINGS

A warning that hits an entrepreneur unprepared like a fist in the eye painfully reminds him/her of his/her time as a student when the so-called “blue letter” arrived at his/her parents’ house. The message was clear: Now it’s getting serious. This fact can no longer be ignored – it was five to twelve, so to speak. Denying everything senseless – the person concerned must face the fact and deal with it. It’s the same with a warning. This does not come in the “blue letter”, but always from a lawyer with the normal daily mail.

The warnings are not only annoying, but also very expensive. Furthermore, they pose an existential danger if they are ignored.

However, before the judiciary can act, a legally secure warning is needed in advance. This consists of a request to refrain from certain behavior, which the creditor claims is illegal. Therefore, a so-called cease and desist declaration is regularly requested with a warning. Secondly, there is the dispute over the costs of the warning and possibly other payment claims such as a payment for damages.

The following legal areas are often affected by warnings:

  • Competition law
  • Copyright
  • Trademark law
  • Design law
  • Title rights
  • Patent rights
  • Data protection rights

The best strategy is to avoid warnings by seeking legal advice. This is always cheaper than later signing an injunction and paying the amount mentioned there. The very high costs can arise due to high disputes. In addition to that, the warned persons submit themselves too far due to pre-formulated cease and desist declarations, so that this can have existential effects if e.g. already produced goods can no longer be sold or a company label can no longer be used. Furthermore, there are high contractual penalties for an injury. Additionally, the many receivers who have signed a cease-and-desist declaration do not take into account that this does not mean that the matter is resolved at all, but that claims for information, compensation, destruction and reimbursement of costs can usually be raised meticulously. If this happens, the affected parties seek a specialist lawyer in this situation. Often too late. That is why you have to clarify in advance of all activities how you can put your project on such secure feet that warnings can be excluded. Our team of lawyers can help you in this issue.

PREVENT BANKRUPTCY

Even in times of full employment and economic boom, the companies have to close the factory gates forever. In other words, you are going into bankruptcy. It doesn’t always have to be. It is often “human traits” that have led to this development because you have reacted too late to financial risks. The bankruptcy doesn’t just fall from the sky. There are numerous references in advance that indicate this. But if the entrepreneur or board of directors does not react to this, the downfall is preprogrammed. Such notices can be i.e.:

  • Sales collapse
  • The price is under pressure because the competition can offer cheaper
  • Equity tends to zero
  • Customers do not pay on time
  • Suppliers only deliver to you if you make payments in advance
  • The bank does not grant any further overdraft facilities and allows direct debits to be returned
  • Employees switch to the competitor companies
  • Rumors about your own company are spreading in the industry

If insolvency is identified or threatens to become insolvent, every entrepreneur must consider opening insolvency proceedings. Often just because it is required by law. Because there are corporate legal forms in which the managing director is even legally obliged to apply for bankruptcy in the event of insolvency. Nevertheless, measures can be taken in advance of a possible bankruptcy to prevent this by, for example, a comparison with the creditors is possible.

But this is only possible if the affected person becomes active before a possible crash.

Our lawyers for insolvency law advice debtors and creditors in all crisis situations and regardless of whether the bankruptcy maturity has occurred, an insolvency application has been made or the insolvency proceedings have already been opened.

Our partner lawyers support debtors with the application and representation in insolvency proceedings. With regard to the profitable areas of a company that absolutely need to be saved, they advise on restructuring, protective shield procedures, self-administration and insolvency plan procedures. If you, as an entrepreneur, have already been put at a disadvantage by an insolvency administrator or other creditors (such as social security funds or tax authorities), we will defend you within the framework of the civil and criminal law in order to avoid personal liability on your part.
