Dr. Dominic GOTTIER is a German specialist employment lawyer (Fachanwalt für Arbeitsrecht) and the founder of GOTTIER Arbeitsrecht. He advises works councils and employees exclusively in employment law, with a particular focus on collective labor law and restructuring situations.
A key area of his practice is the support of works councils during negotiations on reconciliation of interests and social compensation plans.

In close cooperation with an economic expert in his firm, he reviews financial data, develops realistic and sustainable approaches, and works toward solutions that are both legally sound and economically viable.
His work is characterized by careful preparation, clear communication, and a collaborative approach. Dr. GOTTIER regularly represents works councils in negotiations, conciliation committee proceedings, and all matters of co-determination, and he appears frequently before labor courts. Alongside his work in collective labor law, he also advises individual employees, particularly in termination and separation matters such as termination agreements and severance arrangements.
In addition to client representation, Dr. GOTTIER is regularly engaged as an expert in collective employment law and has been involved in numerous procedural matters, including election challenge proceedings.
