Professional Memberships

AVOSIAL

Founded in 2004, AvoSial is an association of lawyers who devote their professional activities to representing and advising employers in the field of labor law and social security.

AvoSial brings together lawyers working in business law firms with a dedicated labor law department, as well as specialized “niche” firms.

This diversity of practices and experiences contributes to the richness of AvoSial, whose members work daily with clients of various sizes, experiencing the evolution of labor law through its many reforms and helping to shape case law through the cases they handle. As such, AvoSial is a privileged observatory of the practice and changes in labor law in France.

Thanks to the dynamism of its members, AvoSial is a unique forum for reflection, exchange, mutual assistance, debate, feedback, and knowledge sharing.

AvoSial's activities are also structured around specialized committees that enable its members to monitor reforms and, above all, to build up a body of proposals that is recognized and appreciated by the public authorities before they are drafted.

Finally, AvoSial is a meeting place for professionals who may sometimes be competitors, but who are united by common values and a shared desire to advance social relations in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

EELA
