Oppenhoff & Partner advises Senvion on its successful reorganisation

Oppenhoff & Partner has advised the wind power plant manufacturer Senvion (Hamburg) on its successful reorganisation. Parts of the production have been relocated and several sites in Germany have been shut down, including Senvion GmbH’s businesses in Husum and Trampe and the works of PowerBlades GmbH in Bremerhaven. Furthermore, reorganisation measures have also been implemented at other sites. The planned measures will lead to a reduction of about 660 workers in Germany over the next few months.

Amongst other things, Oppenhoff & Partner advised Senvion on the negotiation of the compromise of interests and social plan with the group works council, respectively the local bodies, and advised on further aspects of the reorganisation. A total of 16 businesses with 3,500 employees were affected.

The Oppenhoff team included Gilbert Wurth, Alexander Willemsen, Madita Reimsbach and Alexander Heider (all employment law).
