Thomas Ubber – Part­ner at Ubber Labour & Law — Labour law at its best

Thomas is one of the lead­ing employ­ment lawyers in Ger­many. He has many years of expe­ri­ence in advis­ing inter­na­tion­al and nation­al com­pa­nies in all areas of labour law. Thomas is a proven spe­cial­ist in the legal sup­port of col­lec­tive bar­gain­ing nego­ti­a­tions and the defence against indus­tri­al action. He advis­es com­pa­nies on the draft­ing and nego­ti­a­tion of col­lec­tive agree­ments, includ­ing reor­gan­i­sa­tion agree­ments, on tar­iff exit and col­lec­tive bar­gain­ing changes and on the clar­i­fi­ca­tion of dif­fi­cult col­lec­tive bar­gain­ing mat­ters. He has par­tic­u­lar exper­tise in strike defence, be it in the design and imple­men­ta­tion of mea­sures to main­tain oper­a­tional process­es, in secur­ing emer­gency ser­vices or in enforc­ing inter­im injunc­tions against strikes.

Fur­ther, Thomas has exten­sive expe­ri­ence in advis­ing on trans­for­ma­tion, restruc­tur­ing and inte­gra­tion projects. He sup­ports such projects start­ing from strate­gic plan­ning all the way through to final imple­men­ta­tion.

He is dis­tin­guished by his goal- and solu­tion-ori­ent­ed nego­ti­a­tion style. Clients and col­leagues also appre­ci­ate his prag­mat­ic approach in the prepa­ra­tion and sup­port of labour court pro­ceed­ings.

Thomas is an author and speak­er on numer­ous labour law top­ics.
