Good to know
What is your situation?
Received an ordinary termination
We check the notice period, form and reason for termination. Errors make the termination open to challenge.
Received a termination without notice
A termination without notice is subject to high hurdles. We check whether it holds up in your case.
Termination for operational reasons
We check the social selection criteria and whether your position really ceased to exist.
Termination for misconduct
We check whether a valid formal warning came first and whether the allegation justifies the termination.
Termination during probation or at a small business
Even without the Dismissal Protection Act (KSchG), there are limits. We tell you which options you still have.
Termination despite special protection
Pregnancy, parental leave, severe disability, works council: we check whether your special protection was violated.
You want severance pay instead of continued employment
We assess your negotiating position and a realistic amount of severance pay.
Offered a termination agreement instead of a claim
We review the offer before you sign, including the risk of a suspension period for unemployment benefits.
What happens after the initial consultation
If a claim is worth it, we take it on: we draft the statement of claim, file it with the labor court on time and represent you in the proceedings, anywhere in Germany. If a claim is not worth it, we tell you just as clearly, and it stays at €169. No obligation, no subscription, no hourly rate.
Will your legal expenses insurance pay?
We work with all legal expenses insurers. An employment law module usually covers unfair dismissal claims. If your insurer confirms coverage, we can bill the court proceedings directly to them on request.

Unfair dismissal claim: the essentials
Unfair dismissal claim: the 3-week deadline is decisive
Once you receive the termination, you have only 3 weeks to file an unfair dismissal claim with the labor court. If the deadline passes, the termination is as a rule considered valid, no matter how flawed it was. That is why every termination case starts with an immediate review, not with waiting.
Why you should have your termination reviewed
Many terminations can be challenged legally. Typical employer errors: - Formal errors: Terminations must be in writing with an original signature. A termination by email or messenger is invalid. - Wrong notice period: The notice period grows with length of service, from 4 weeks up to 7 months. Incorrectly calculated notice periods can be challenged. - Flawed social selection: For terminations for operational reasons, the employer must take into account length of service, age, maintenance obligations and severe disability. - Missing formal warning: A termination for misconduct generally requires a valid prior formal warning. - Violated special protection: Pregnant women, parents on parental leave, people with severe disabilities and works council members are specially protected. A quick review shows you whether a claim is worth it and whether severance pay is an option.
Your chances at a glance
Whether a termination is valid depends on several factors: size of the business, length of employment, reason for termination and form. In many cases there are good chances of a successful claim or severance pay. The Dismissal Protection Act (KSchG) applies after more than 6 months of service at businesses with more than 10 full-time employees. Even outside the Act, there are grounds for challenge, such as formal errors or special protection against termination.
How the proceedings work
1. Review (24 hours): We check validity, chances of success and severance potential and give you a concrete recommendation. 2. Filing the claim (within the 3-week deadline): If a claim is worth it, we draft the statement of claim and file it on time with the competent labor court. 3. Conciliation hearing (usually after 2 to 6 weeks): The court first tries to reach an agreement. Many proceedings end here with a settlement, often including severance pay. 4. Main hearing and judgment: If no agreement is reached, the court decides on the validity of the termination. We accompany you through the entire proceedings and represent you anywhere in Germany, no matter where you live and which labor court has jurisdiction.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.

3 weeks from receipt of the termination. The claim must reach the labor court within this deadline. After that, the termination is as a rule considered valid, even if it was flawed.
€169 fixed price, incl. VAT. The price covers the complete written assessment and follow-up questions on the result. There are no further costs for this scope of services.
Within 24 hours, guaranteed. The average processing time is 2 hours. That leaves enough of the 3-week deadline for the claim.
Many terminations can be challenged legally, for example because of formal errors, incorrect notice periods or flawed social selection. Whether that is the case for you, we tell you in writing after the review, with a clear assessment of your chances.
There is no automatic entitlement. In practice, many unfair dismissal proceedings end in a settlement that includes severance pay. We check in advance whether severance pay is realistic in your case and how much.
In practice, half a gross monthly salary per year of employment serves as a guideline. The actual amount depends on your negotiating position, above all on how open to challenge the termination is.
The Dismissal Protection Act (KSchG) applies after more than 6 months of service at businesses with more than 10 full-time employees. Outside of that, we check other grounds for challenge, such as formal errors or special protection against termination.
Special protection against termination applies here: a termination is only permitted in exceptional cases and with official approval. Such terminations are particularly often open to challenge.
The labor court usually summons both parties to the conciliation hearing. We prepare you in advance and represent you throughout the proceedings, anywhere in Germany.
Then you get that in writing with the reasons, and it stays at €169. You are under no obligation to hire us for the claim.
