For Employees: Dismissal Protection Lawsuit – Timing Is Key!

Many employees reach out to us after receiving a (summary) dismissal. It’s crucial to know that a dismissal protection lawsuit must be filed within three weeks of receiving the termination notice. Missing this deadline means the labor court cannot review the legality of your dismissal.

Our support for employees includes:

• Assessing the legality of your dismissal

• Initiating a dismissal protection lawsuit

• Advising on potential severance claims

Have you been dismissed? Don’t wait – contact us promptly! You can reach us in Cologne at +49 221 732 933 86, via email at info@ehrenfelder.legal, or through our contact form.
