Liber Dock is a solution-oriented law firm specialising in corporate labour law and pensions. Our goal is to help you achieve your business targets quickly and easily.
Our experience particularly focuses on legal and strategic issues involving labour law, company law, and employee participation (see the EXPERTISE tab for more information). This means that we advise on the positions taken by the works council, management, supervisory board, and trade unions with regard to change processes. Change processes aside, we also offer advice as needed on individual cases. We know that, in practice, companies often prefer to handle these issues in house. Naturally, we also need to facilitate that day-to-day work, which is why we make a knowledge portal available exclusively to our clients (either by way of subscription or free of charge for our established business partners) to make this work easier and more cost-efficient.
Liber Dock’s professional services are based on two-way communication between client and attorney. As their business partner, we want to work with our clients to arrive at the best solutions, because they know their business best.
We strive too simplify that two-way communication in every legal situation – no matter how complex – by using specially developed infographics to provide our clients with visual explanations of each aspect of their case. This clarifies the overall situation at a glance, enabling us to work together to choose the best solution. We also note that our clients often use this visual advice to explain the situation to their internal stakeholders.
To be able to function at top level and perform in complex changes programmes you need dynamic people. And that is why we have developed a vitality programme which is also open to our business partners. Wellness and team building activities are fundamental. The programme comprises a weekly boot camp and parts on nutrition, attitude and mental toughness. Interested in joining a training session? You are most welcome!

“It is a relief that this team of lawyers does not unnecessarily legalise employment matters, acts quickly, and speaks our language.”
“Marian and her team always approach what is presented to them with an open and critical eye. They search for new solutions that go beyond the letter of the law and also focus on the dynamics between parties, whether it is the individual employee, the cooperation with the headquarters, or with the works councils. They are not afraid to give an opinion, even if it goes beyond the path of the law. Always quick to respond, decisive, and acting as a logical extension of your own organization. A particularly great business partner to work with!”
