Labor & Employment

Soulier Avocats assists its clients, primarily businesses, in all aspects of French labor, employment and social security law.

French labor & employment law is often viewed as a disincentive to business expansion, notably because it is constantly evolving and imposes heavy burdens on companies.

Our commitment is to make this complex legislation more accessible and understandable to our clients, through a pragmatic and operational approach and a constant focus on creative legal engineering, while ensuring legal certainty at all times.

We guarantee to our clients responsiveness and efficiency in managing unexpected and urgent labor-related issues that may arise in connection with their operations, as well as a constant effort of anticipation, search for and optimization of legal tailored solutions, by providing a close attention to their concerns and taking into account the specific economic constraints that they face.
