Employment Criminal Law, Professional Criminal Law, Disciplinary Criminal Law

In the area of employment criminal law, the facts that constitute the subject matter of a case relate to legal regulations governing employment relationships. These facts are not restricted to the regulations of the German Criminal Code, but also relate to employment law, social law and tax law regulations. The complexity of the contexts requires precision in approaching the criminal charges.

Closely related thereto is the professional criminal law governing the professional rights of independent professions such as physicians, lawyers, notaries, tax consultants and auditors. This needs to be distinguished from disciplinary criminal law which pertains to disciplinary offenses of civil servants and is governed by the regulations of the Federal Disciplinary Act. Soldiers are governed by the military disciplinary law provided for in the Military Criminal Code.
