internationale-expansion

What it does

Guides a workflow for international expansion in labor law, ensuring Fristen (deadlines), Form (documentation), Zuständigkeit (jurisdiction), Rechtsweg (legal path), and Sofortmaßnahmen (immediate steps) are checked. Produces an Fristenblatt, Zugangsmatrix, Beweisangebot, Mandantenmail, Rechts- bzw. Gegnerbrief, or Klage-/Erwiderungsbaustein as outputs. It emphasizes live verification of norms and decisions and requires sources from legal databases, not model knowledge. It avoids citing non-live sources and instructs to verify normative changes live or from case files. The skill includes an output framework for a structured decision process comparing AÜG/EOR vs. eigene Gesellschaft, and a detailed Step 1–5 process including information gathering, decision framing, cross-functional triggers, external briefing requests, and a persistent tracker file.

How it works

• Step 1 — Information gathering: asks for land, roles, headcount, start date, existing entities, EOR usage, finance involvement, external lawyers, long-term vs. test market, and decision-maker. It requires waiting for answers before proceeding.
• Step 2 — Entscheidungsrahmen: builds a framed decision context comparing AÜG/EOR vs. eigene Gesellschaft, using factors such as headcount, timeline, strategy, cost sensitivity, control, IP sensitivity, and notes that exact break-even values vary by country and provider. It also lists compliance notes for AÜG in EOR contexts and flags Betriebsstättenrisiko for certain roles.
• Step 3 — Abteilungsübergreifende Trigger: defines cross-functional tasks for Tax, Finance, HR, and External Labor Lawyers, with specific questions Legal should ask each function, and requires identifying local service providers and budget considerations.
• Step 4 — Länderspezifischer Briefing-Request: generates a structured Briefing-Request to external labor lawyers covering 13 topics (employment structure, contract requirements, termination, mandatory benefits, non-compete/NDAs, employee representation, data protection, work permits, sector-specific rules, contractor risk, equity & benefits, Day-1 compliance, and recent changes).
• Step 5 — Expansions-Tracker: instructs creating a YAML expansion file per country to persist tracking of open items (expansion-[land-slug].yaml).

When to use it

Use when planning an international expansion in labor law, to determine legal structure (EOR vs own entity), ensure all deadlines and procedural steps are identified, and to prepare a briefing package for external labor lawyers. Triggered by a need to compare structures, gather country-specific requirements, and organize cross-functional inputs.

What it can touch

• Tools declared: claude-code
• It requires interacting with legal databases and sources for live norms and decisions; the skill specifies live verification and prohibits model-wisdom citations. It touches documents such as Fristenblatt, Zugangsmatrix, Beweisangebot, Mandantenmail, Betrieb rat-/Gegnerbrief, Klage-/Erwiderungsbaustein, and the expansion tracker file.

Caveats

• It mandates live verification of primary law sources (gesetze-im-internet.de, dejure.org, openJur, etc.).
• It requires explicit country-specific information and delays progression until user-provided data is supplied.
• It does not cite model knowledge or third-party non-live sources.
