Coblence avocats employment practice

Coblence avocats provides both advisory and litigation services to French and international companies on all aspects of individual and collective employment and labor law issues. The firm is aware of the importance of finding alternative solutions in dispute resolution and has developed its mediation practice. It is particularly well-versed in dealing with psychosocial risks and it promotes arbitration, providing an alternative to the current congestion in the labor courts. The employment and labor law team also leads many training sessions on behalf of legal organizations and publishers. In addition to offering monthly information breakfast meetings, it also provides its clients with a customized, in-house training program in its role as a training provider.

Specialisations

The team routinely handles the employment aspects of major M&A and private equity deals, as well as complex reorganizations (including PSEs, workforce planning, and intra-group restructurings). It also represents clients in high-stakes individual and collective litigation before all French labour and civil courts — from the Conseil de Prud’hommes to the Cour d’Appel and the Commission Arbitrale des Journalistes. The team is recognised for their expertise in employment litigation and in advising and supporting senior executives, notably on governance, negotiation strategies, and executive management issues.
