Parents employed at the institute are supported, in particular, via flexible working hours and work location, family-friendly event times, and childcare offers.

The Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law offers flexible and family-friendly work arrangements to all employees.
Telecommuting from a home office is also possible .
Together with the pme Family Service, the institute helps find suitable care for children aged 0 to 14, or for other relatives who require care.
In emergency situations, short-term care can also be booked through the Family Service.
In emergency situations, children are welcome guests at the institute: the toys and portable children’s bed available at the institute mean that every office can be transformed into a parent-child office.
To make it possible for all employees to participate in institute events, these are generally held during the core work hours.
For their sustained anchoring of family-conscious personnel policy within the organizational culture, the Max Planck Society and its institutes have been awarded the audit certificate of the non-profit berufundfamilie Service GmbH.
This certificate was awarded in 2018 for the fifth time (after 2006, 2009, 2012 and 2016).
