Whistleblowing system mandatory from 2023 – we’ll take over!

From summer 2023, companies (above a certain size) are obliged to set up a whistleblowing hotline. This will give employees the opportunity to pass on information about questionable actions accordingly and grievances can be identified at an early stage – companies can thus be protected from costly consequences or damage to their reputation! Together with partner Nicolaus Mels-Colloredo and his team, we are focused on providing you with comprehensive legal support and advice on whistleblowing as well as the protection of whistleblowers. We are also happy to implement a complete whistleblower system for you. Our services in the area of the HSchG include:
