I used Module 03’s compensation checklist before a Friday call. The structure held; I still needed outside counsel for the litigation angle, which the FAQ had already flagged.

Flagship course
German Non-Compete Fundamentals
A practical review method for employment consultations in Germany. You will annotate real clause patterns, draft client-facing notes, and practice naming limits before anyone asks for a prediction.
Learning outcomes
- Separate duration, geography, activity, and compensation elements in a restraint clause
- Flag wording that commonly creates consultation risk in German practice
- Produce a one-page memo a client can reuse in the next meeting
- Identify when a question must move to licensed counsel
Informational pricing
Individual access through the Review Studio path is listed at €640. Cohort pricing appears on the pricing page. Fees are informational only—no checkout on this site.
Modules
Eleven hours total, designed to fit between live consultations rather than as a weekend binge.
-
01
Clause map & German consultation context
How employment consultations frame post-contractual restraints, and what “review” means when you are not acting as counsel of record.
-
02
Duration, territory, and activity scope
Annotation drills on overbroad geography and activity lists that clients often overlook in first reads.
-
03
Compensation language & garden leave interplay
Read how payment wording and garden leave periods change the conversation in a consultation.
-
04
Client memo studio
Draft, compare, and revise a briefing note using instructor models from mid-sized German employers.

FAQ
Is this legal advice?
No. The course trains consultation and review skills. It does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not decide enforceability for a specific dispute.
Do I need a German employment contract to enroll?
Helpful, but not required. We provide sample clauses. Learners who bring their own text get more from the memo studio—after redacting personal data.
What is a real limitation of this course?
We do not cover court pleading strategy, collective bargaining overlays in every sector, or cross-border enforcement outside Germany. Those topics require specialist counsel beyond this curriculum.
How are office hours scheduled?
Review Studio learners book two live slots within their access window. Sessions focus on memo feedback, not on drafting employment contracts from scratch.
Learner notes
★★★★☆
Clearer than the webinars I tried last year. The memo studio felt demanding—in a useful way.
