Recording working time: what employers must actually do now
The duty is settled, the detail is not. We set out which systems currently count as sufficient and where transitional periods apply.

Short notes on decisions and legislation that affect mid-sized companies.

3 May
Dismissal by email remains ineffective
A regional labor court has confirmed again: written form means paper and a signature. Even a qualified electronic signature did not help in the case decided.

Limiting liability in standard terms — three common mistakes
We see the same three formulations over and over. All three fall away in a dispute and take the whole clause with them.

Transferring shares: why timing decides the tax
Two possible dates can be six figures apart. What should be settled early when planning a succession.
The project frame
How Awelior would approach this project
Whitfield & Partners is invented — the way it is built is not. None of this is work delivered for a client. It is the shape we would give such a project — with the same depth, but without a client who would have to answer for it.
Where it starts
Whitfield & Partners advise on employment, commercial and corporate law; engagements come from across the country and first contact almost always follows a search for a specific problem. A managing director facing a wrongful termination claim decides in two minutes whether to call — and decides it on whether this firm has handled his kind of case before.
Decisions
Practice areas before people
The route runs from the area of law to the attorney, not the other way round. Someone with a problem is not looking for a name; they are looking for the right desk. So the team gets its own page, clearly visible but not as the entry point.
A quiet archetype, centred layout
Centred headings, generous white space, no blocks of color. That is not taste but competence: the same structure dressed as a trade business would immediately contradict every claim about care and precision.
Initial consultation as a booking flow
The contact page carries a four-step booking route — service, day, time, summary — instead of a phone number alone. Somebody landing here at ten at night with a dismissal letter in hand should be able to do something.
Deliberately left outNo success rates, no amounts in dispute, no named client logos. Professionally risky and substantively worthless — the logo strip therefore shows sectors rather than firms, and the key figures name fields of work rather than outcomes.
What is in it

Five pages, in all four languages. Navigation, the expandable questions and the full booking flow including its summary all respond — and the summary says outright that nothing was booked. Indicated only: directions and the sending of the contact form.
How it would go on
Appointments into the firm's calendar
A connection to the calendar system with real consultation lengths, buffers and blocked periods — and a rule about which requests may be confirmed without a callback.
Client data and confidentiality
A contact form at a law firm is a special case: what people write into it may already relate to a matter. That touches transport, mailbox, retention and the question of who inside the firm reads along.
News that is actually kept up
The article list lives on new judgments. Without somebody writing monthly it becomes, within six months, the opposite of a trust signal.
