About

Provided by Eversheds Sutherland

We have extensive experience working for global businesses throughout the world, and can coordinate services for you across jurisdictions and time zones. Our international presence means we can give you rapid-response legal support ‘on the ground’ across the world.

Our lawyers are experienced practitioners, many of whom advocate in local labor courts and beyond. As well as having the experience to advise you on global projects, they also have deep local knowledge of the law and what happens in practice.

All of our lawyers understand the importance of proactive and pragmatic partnering. You can expect quick response times and an answer designed for your business. 

Our French team is experienced in the main aspects of Employment and Labor law. We advise large French and international companies in particular on corporate reorganisations, collective bargaining, working time, relations with employee representative bodies, employee savings, pay and litigation.

Throughout our past and current experiences, we have acquired a strong command of issues pertaining to redundancies on any scale, especially in respect of the closure of French plants of foreign companies in very sensitive contexts.

We help you optimise your strategies and your individual and collective working relationships in order to stimulate your growth. Our lawyers link a strategic understanding of your business sector to a technical expertise to support your operational objectives in absolute legal certainty.
