Dr. Jochen Leßmann and Dr. Christoph Herrmann were once again invited as speakers to the yearly conference of inhouse lawyers in Berlin on employment law related topics. This year’s speech addressed the subject matter of fictitious self-employment based on current developments in applicable law and relevant court cases, namely the highly practical and relevant question regarding the distinction between employment and self-employment in the light of modern ways of deployment of external staff in companies alongside the company’s own employees.
