Dr Wolfgang Lipinski is Partner at BEITEN BURKHARDT‘s Munich office and member of the Labour & Employment Law practice group. He advises German and international companies on collective and individual labour law issues and represents them in legal proceedings, often in landmark cases, in all courts up to the Federal Labour Court. He particularly focuses on the strategic planning and implementation of restructuring and reorganisation measures (inter alia (mass) redundancies, transfer of business and outsourcing projects) and collective labour law advice to companies during and after privatisation.

He further specialises in assisting with and implementing all kinds of collective bargaining issues (e.g. flexible working hours, change of pay scale, Employer‘s Association membership changes, collective company agreements) as well as optimising and structuring remuneration and working-hour models. Wolfgang Lipinski regularly conducts negotiations, including with conciliation boards or arbitration tribunals for collective bargaining disputes, e.g. on the reconciliation of interests, social plans, all types of collective bargaining agreements, with works councils and/or trade unions.

Dr Wolfgang Lipinski studied law at the Universities of Heidelberg, Mannheim and Speyer. He obtained his doctoral degree with a thesis on “Special Protection Against Termination Following Transfers of Business”, under the supervision of Prof. Dr Volker Rieble, and was admitted to the German Bar in 1999. He has been working with BEITEN BURKHARDT since 2001 and became Partner in 2005. He is a regular contributor to the labour law sections of the journals Betriebs-Berater and Compliance-Berater and is a member of the Labour Law working group of the German Bar Association (DAV) and the Verein zur Förderung arbeitsrechtlicher Forschung e.V. (German Association to Promote Research in Labour Law Matters).
