For twenty years, Chris­tian Winkhaus has ad­vised em­ploy­ees and em­ploy­ers, private in­di­vidu­als and com­pan­ies on all is­sues of in­di­vidual and col­lect­ive em­ploy­ment law. As a qual­i­fied law­yer for em­ploy­ment law, Chris­tian Winkhaus re­in­forces the ex­pert­ise of Schirp & Part­ner with this legal field. In ad­di­tion, he has long-​standing legal and con­trac­tual ex­per­i­ence in the areas of com­pany and com­mer­cial law, in­her­it­ance law and in the is­sues of tax and crim­inal law that flank these areas. From 1998 un­til a few years ago, he was also ad­mit­ted as an abogado (in­scrito) in Mad­rid. A fur­ther fo­cus of his work has there­fore been and still is Span­ish real es­tate, in­her­it­ance and com­pany law.
