Social law

Notos` lawyer Christoph Kapp and certified social law attorney gives comprehensive and detailed advice to enterprises, entrepreneurs, self-employed professionals (freelancer), artists (musicians, singers, actors) and employees to all questions with regard to social law and adjacent fields of law.

Hardly any other field of law was subject to comparable alterations like the social and social insurance law.
Particular claims with regards to
  • Social security benefit
  • Unemployment benefit
  • Health insurance
were changed repeatedly, partly even drastically.

A further point of main emphasis lies in the advice in social law questions with regard to
  • Statutory accident insurance and
  • Künstlersozialkasse ( social security scheme for artists).
There is a great uncertainty in this field and it is hardly impossible for the layman to master the manifold questions. Even tax advisors and lawyers not specialised in this field can hardly answer open questions.

Of great economic importance are also general and specific questions with regard to contribution law.
  • When and to which extent is there an obligation to contribute to the various branches of social security, mainly to the annuity- or health insurance?
  • Which advantages or disadvantages are with the liability to insure or with the exemption from compulsory insurance?
With regard to these questions it is of utmost importance to take care about the correct wordings in company partnership agreements and in contracts of employment, even more so in with regard to managerial contracts. In case of investigations by the competent collection authorities unequivocal contracts have to presented to avoid high penalty payments.

Questions relevant to social law also have to be observed e.g. in cases of claims of return or additional payments of social security contributions due to deficient working contracts or due to deficient dissolution of working contracts. In such cases it is important to inform oneself in time to avoid considerable financial burdens coming up later.
