Information about the employment law hotline

Advice on employment law matters is a frequently expressed wish among our members. GDCh members have access to an experienced contact for brief telephone consultations in the form of lawyer Christian Vogt, a specialist employment lawyer from Frankfurt am Main. He has been admitted as a specialist employment lawyer since 2000.

Since 2005, members have been able to receive initial legal guidance via the GDCh employment law hotline set up specifically for this purpose. The advice is intended as an initial assessment and does not replace a comprehensive legal examination. The consultation is therefore limited to a maximum of ten minutes. In most cases, important questions can already be clarified and helpful guidance provided within this time.

The free service is exclusively for GDCh members.

Three questions for Christian Vogt:

I have been a lawyer since 1995 and have specialised in employment law from the outset. I have been admitted as a specialist lawyer for employment law since March 2000. Since 1999, I have also been providing support for the hotline of a medium-sized professional association, where I answer questions on employment law.

Some standard questions can indeed be answered in just a few minutes. For complex issues, a brief telephone consultation naturally cannot and should not replace personal advice. However, it can provide initial assistance, so to speak “point the person seeking advice in the right direction”, for example by drawing their attention to important deadlines or to particular aspects they may not yet have noticed as a layperson.

Callers should have important documents such as employment contracts, etc. to hand beforehand so that they can answer any follow-up questions quickly. They should also describe their problem briefly and concisely so that there is enough time to respond.
