Document background
This Non Disparagement Agreement After Termination is designed for use in the German legal context when an employment relationship is ending and both parties wish to establish clear parameters for future communications and statements. The document becomes particularly relevant in situations involving senior positions, sensitive information, or high-profile departures where reputation management is crucial. It addresses the specific requirements of German employment law, including constitutional considerations regarding freedom of expression, while providing practical mechanisms for enforcement. The agreement typically follows employment termination negotiations and can be part of a broader separation package. It must carefully balance the employer's interest in protecting its reputation with the employee's fundamental rights under German law.
