Breach of Duty or Criminal Offense? – When Employment Law Crosses into Criminal Law and Seemingly Routine Employment Matters Suddenly Give Rise to Criminal Exposure

Timekeeping and overtime, the employment of foreign skilled workers, the engagement of purported independent contractors, interactions with works councils, anonymous whistleblower reports, the requirements of the EU Pay Transparency Directive, and internal investigations: many issues that arise in day-to-day employment practice have a criminal law dimension—often without those involved realizing it.

Failing to identify these risks early can put more than just the company at risk. Executives, HR professionals, and compliance officers may also expose themselves personally to liability under both employment and criminal law.

In our webinar, we will examine the key areas where employment law and criminal law intersect—from both an employment law and a criminal law perspective. Using typical real-world scenarios, we will explore when a breach of duty can escalate into a criminal investigation, what liability risks companies and individual decision-makers may face, and how HR, Legal, and Compliance should work together to respond effectively and in accordance with the law.

Who Should Attend:

• Heads of Human Resources
• Heads of Legal
• Compliance Officers
• In-house Counsel and
• Executives

What You Will Gain:

• Identify risks at an early stage
• Navigate critical areas with greater legal certainty
• Avoid liability and reputational damage

Dr. Michaela Felisiak, Counsel at Eversheds Sutherland, and Dr. Sascha Knaupe, criminal defense attorney at ROXIN, will share insights and practical experience gained from many years of advising and representing clients in these sensitive areas.

We look forward to your participation!

Regulatory dawn raids constitute a significant challenge for companies – even for experienced executives and compliance officers. Receive practice-oriented insights into handling regulatory dawn raids professionally.

The internal heads of legal and compliance are acting in a stressful situation under close scrutiny by management and staff. At the same time, members of the management face the challenge of making strategic decisions under substantial pressure, with limited information and within a legally complex environment.

Only those who are familiar with their own rights, obligations, and the legal framework, can respond professionally and guide the company through a dawn raid in close collaboration with external counsel.

By popular demand, we are offering our highly sought-after webinar “Managing Searches Within the Company” again this year as a concise refresher on the key legal guardrails and proven practical steps to take in an emergency.

Topics of the webinar:

• Optimal and targeted preparation for potential scenarios.

• Current developments, among other things, regarding obligations to testify and the execution of dawn raids in home office settings.

• Your rights and obligations during regulatory dawn raids – explained in a practice-oriented manner.

• Practical recommendations and common mistakes to be avoided – illustrated with real-life case studies.

Dr Johannes Altenburg, criminal defense attorney and Partner at ROXIN, shares his knowledge and experiences from many years of work in this sensitive area. This webinar offers practical and relevant insights for executives, in-house counsel, and compliance officers.

The webinar is being held in cooperation with the Deutsches Institut für Rechtsabteilungen und Unternehmensjuristen (diruj).

German and European export control law continues to develop dynamically, with ongoing changes presenting companies and their leaders with new, additional challenges.

With the law on the adjustment of criminal offenses and sanctions for violations of restrictive measures of the European Union, which came into force on February 6, 2026, the legislature has significantly tightened penalties and fines for sanctions violations.

Find out which violations are now considered criminal offenses, which stricter regulations apply to dual-use goods, in which cases the possibility of voluntary disclosure no longer applies, and what penalties and fines may be imposed in the future.

What do these changes specifically mean for managers, legal counsels, and compliance officers in your company? Answers will be provided by Dr. Oliver Sahan, defense attorney and managing partner at ROXIN, together with Dr. Michaela Möhlenbeck, inhouse counsel at Deutsche Bahn AG and of counsel at ROXIN.

This event offers an in-depth examination of the upcoming legislative changes and their practical implications, providing added value even for participants who attended last year’s webinar. Be well-prepared for the tightened requirements in export control!

The webinar is being held in cooperation with the Deutsches Institut für Rechtsabteilungen und Unternehmensjuristen (diruj).

A view “from the other side”: Which priorities are public prosecutors currently setting in enforcement practice—and which risks are often assessed as higher than they prove to be in reality?

Dr. Oliver Sahan, criminal defense lawyer and partner, will provide a practical situation report from current defense work, including concrete examples of how investigative authorities set priorities and which factors tend to be decisive in practice.

Key topics include, among others:

• Export control violations: What is currently being monitored and prosecuted particularly closely?
• Employment of workers (within the company and via business partners): Where are the real risks—and which measures are genuinely effective and proportionate?

The webinar is aimed at in-house counsel as well as non-lawyers (Compliance, HR, Export/Trade, Procurement, Management) who are looking for an up-to-date, pragmatic assessment of enforcement priorities and investigative reality.

The webinar will take place from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. and is organized in cooperation with Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Syndikusanwälte (Regionalgruppe Nord, chaired by Tanja Grotowsky and Bettina Joos).

Founded in 1978, the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Syndikusanwälte (Working Group of In-House Counsel) is part of the German Bar Association (DAV). It represents the professional policy interests of in-house counsel, provides information on developments in lawyers’ professional regulation and commercial law, and promotes professional exchange. Internationally, it is connected, among others, through the European Company Lawyers Association (ECLA) and In-House Counsel Worldwide (ICW).
