Our growing labor and employment practice handles urgent, complex or sensitive employment law issues. We provide assistance in a collaborative and pragmatic way, frequently in an international or multi-disciplinary context.
Our clients, including boards of directors, legal departments and human resources departments, seek our expertise on transitions, group reorganizations, high-profile litigation, and compensation and benefits issues. We also handle sensitive and crisis cases such as plant closures, reorganizations, social plans, executive departures, health and safety issues at work, and strikes.
Our team identifies issues that our clients have not recognized as potential problems, while keeping a pragmatic approach to heavily regulated employment environments such as France.
