Case Studies with Reviews
Mr. Lugowski is an absolutely brilliant lawyer. He assisted me with a rather complex case against my employer and successfully negotiated a much higher severance package than originally offered. He is highly competent, always friendly, and explains things in a clear and understandable way at eye level. His communication style, availability, and regular status updates are truly invaluable. Throughout the entire process, I felt completely secure and well taken care of, which is crucial in such situations. I can highly recommend Mr. Lugowski for any employment law matters and will definitely seek his advice for my next contract.
E. K. Starting Point
The client was a Director of an international company. Her employer presented her with a severance agreement offering a six-figure severance package.
The Challenge
The client then turned to the law firm and took advantage of the free initial assessment. She wanted to determine whether, among other things, a higher severance payment was possible—for greater financial security.
The Approach
The review by Specialist Lawyer Lugowski revealed that there was still potential for a higher severance package. During negotiations with the employer, he gradually increased legal pressure.
The Result
Through persistent renegotiation, Mr. Lugowski secured an additional €80,000 gross in severance pay for the client. He also successfully shielded her from legal threats made by the employer.
Starting Point
The client was employed as a pilot. Based on an anonymous tip, the employer suspended him from work and additionally denied him training for an updated aircraft model.
The Challenge
The client’s licenses were at risk of expiring. Without the required type rating, he would no longer meet the qualifications to work as a pilot. He urgently sought legal assistance, as his professional livelihood was on the line.
The Approach
The experienced specialist lawyer immediately initiated an interim injunction—demanding reintegration into work and the completion of an annual check flight. Additionally, he filed a lawsuit to enforce the client’s right to further training.
The Result
The court granted the interim injunction, ensuring the client’s right to work and complete the check flight. Mr. Lugowski successfully defended the injunction in the second instance, securing both the check flight and the required training for the client.
Thanks to Mr. Lugowski, I was able to secure an interim injunction before the LAG Hannover and file a lawsuit for the enforcement of a training contract. Throughout the process, I found Mr. Lugowski to be a very attentive and precise lawyer. His very pleasant demeanor created a relaxed atmosphere, yet never lacked professionalism. I can highly recommend Mr. Lugowski without reservation.

Employment Lawyer: The Costs of Our Legal Services
As the basis for our fees, we follow the legal fees (RVG). These set the minimum fees for lawyers, which are also typically charged by other law firms.
Only the initial brief assessment is free of charge. The initial consultation is not free of charge with us.This is because we stand for quality and performance in employment law, which comes at a price (for our time, resources, and continuous professional development). With a free consultation, we would only be able to conduct phone calls and could not dedicate the necessary care to your case. In any case, the consultation fee is fully credited toward the following fees.
We hold ourselves to the standard of providing you with the best possible service. This means, above all, that you will receive the full attention of your lawyer. Availability and fast response times are very important to us.
At the same time, you can expect high quality in our legal advice. We organize our time resources to ensure that your case is handled with care and attention at all times. We value a balanced client structure and the sustainability of client relationships.
We also follow the principle: “Old client before new client.”
When we are in the process of carefully preparing your lawsuit or legal document, new inquiries must wait. This is one aspect of our quality standards.
Thanks to our law firm concept, we are able to dedicate time and attention to your case.
Our law firm concept enables us to dedicate exceptional care and precision to your matter.
Due to our high level of commitment and thorough preparation, you can generally expect to be in a better financial position or have a higher likelihood of achieving your goals.
You should view our services more as an investment.
Especially in employment law, a careless remark or action can quickly result in a significant amount being lost.
Attention: Don’t miss your deadlines in employment law!
In employment law, you should act quickly. Claims and rights expire after a short period if you do not assert them. This is due to short deadlines in employment contracts and procedural deadlines, such as in the case of a dismissal. Once these deadlines have passed, even the best employment lawyer can no longer help you.
Therefore, don’t hesitate to contact us. Take advantage of the opportunity for a non-binding initial assessment.
