Nehls is well connected in the Hanseatic city: in 1995 he started his legal career at the Hamburg law firm Schulz Noack Bärwinkel before moving to Haarmann Hemmelrath in 1999. There he worked together with Pusch Wahlig name partner Thomas Wahlig until 2003. Nehls then worked under his own flag for almost ten years before joining Mittelstandsberater Kolaschnik Partner (then Strunk Kolaschnik) as a partner in 2013.
In the Pusch Wahlig boutique, which is purely focused on labor law, Nehls can now concentrate entirely on advice on core labor law. Among other things, he specializes in church labor law, in particular in employee representation law. Other focal points are the representation of managing directors and board members as well as works constitution law. In recent years, his clients have also regularly approached him with questions about bogus self-employment.
Pusch Wahlig continues to grow: she was able to win an aspiring lawyer from Freshfields for the Cologne office, which opened in December 2020, who will start in February. Verena Braeckeler-Kogel is on site as a partner. The two youngest Pusch Wahlig locations in Hamburg and Cologne are thus initially represented by two lawyers each. The law firm employs around 40 lawyers in total, and further expansion is planned.
The law firm Kolaschnik Partner, which focuses on midcap transaction business, has shrunk from five to three professionals over the last twelve months. In addition to the two corporate law partners Helge Kolaschnik and Alexander Jehn, there is currently another employed lawyer in the firm who specializes in IT and contract law. However, the unit plans to position itself more broadly and to advise its clients on labor law again in the future. In 2019 Kolaschnik entered into a cooperation with the resurrected MDP law firm Andersen, which it ended after a short time. (Annette Kamps)
