Employment law

This is an area of particular delicacy in France. Employment and redundancy costs are high, and can be enormously and unnecessarily increased if the proper procedures are not followed.

Penlaw acts regularly for banks and other employers (i) to give on-going advice on employment law matters, (ii) for recruitment advice, draft contracts, influence of collective agreements, (iii) in individual redundancy situations and (iv) in mass redundancy.

Penlaw acts also for employees to advise on recovery of damages in redundancy/dismissal situations, contract drafting, etc.

Cross-border considerations often need to be taken into account.
