Hélène Daher

Practice Areas

Hélène Daher’s expertise covers all aspects of labour and employment law. With her team, she assists and represents French and international companies on both collective (relations with the employee representatives, negotiation of collective agreements, reductions in force…) and individual work relations (negotiation of strategic hirings…).

Hélène has in-depth expertise in major collective redundancies and reorganizations, as well as complex pre-contentious and contentious situations (harassment, discrimination, overtime, claims surrounding bonuses…). She also has a strong track-record in M&A-related employment law advice and recognised experience in top executives’ departures, in particular in the context of very high profile and sensitive cases.

Hélène leads a team of four lawyers fully dedicated to Employment Law and is also assisted by a University Lecturer, Stéphane Vernac.
