Services · Employment reference
Your reference helps decide your next job.
Hidden downgrades cost you opportunities. Specialised lawyers review your employment reference (Arbeitszeugnis) and enforce what you are owed.
Our team gets you what you are owed.
Good to know
Three things that make your reference valuable.
- Your entitlement: You are entitled to a qualified, benevolent employment reference covering performance and conduct.
- The reference code: Phrases like "stets zu unserer Zufriedenheit" follow a code. What sounds friendly can be a bad grade.
- Negotiate it as a package: With a termination or termination agreement, the reference belongs on the negotiating table, together with your severance payment.

How it works
From reference check to correction.
Discuss your reference
You pick the time yourself, we call you and look at your reference together.
Lawyers review
Specialised lawyers spot hidden downgrades and check what you are owed.
Enforce the correction
We demand the correction. If a termination or termination agreement is running in parallel, we negotiate the reference alongside it.
You only pay if we succeed.
If the lawyers negotiate for you, we work purely success-based: if we succeed, we receive 29% of the severance payment (incl. VAT), capped at €6,000. If we do not succeed, you pay nothing. With legal expenses insurance, your insurer covers the costs.
