Over the years, JOBARD, CHEMLA & ASSOCIÉS has acquired a great deal of expertise in labor law. This expertise is the upshot of the day-to-day practice by a team of attorneys, in both litigation and consultancy. Our lawyers stay abreast on a daily basis of developments in this highly technical legal domain. They also have in-depth knowledge of corporate and business law.

We make sure that we are available to provide everyday assistance to the managing executives and human resource management of our clients on a national and international scale, in all fields of activity.

We seek out and offer our clients prompt, customized solutions, suited to corporate requirements and economic issues.

We handle legal activities in the following areas: 

• Negotiating, drafting, and modifying employment contracts.
• Advising and managing executives throughout their careers (from recruitment to breach of employment contracts).
• Counseling companies on international mobility, detachment and expatriation.
• Conducting audits for Mergers and Acquisitions, and business transfers.
• Monitoring collective and individual negotiated terminations of employment, disciplinary procedures, dismissals, settlements, and litigation.
• Following the consequences of reorganization and restructuring of companies, and drafting and monitoring the implementation of mass company layoffs.
• Setting up and managing agreements regarding reform and length of working hours.
• Counsel clients regarding Social Security Law and retirement issues.

A few recent examples:

• We provided daily assistance to a number of major corporations to monitor the application of working hours regulations and 35-hour working week agreements.
• We negotiated and drafted a global agreement and an end-of-strike agreement during a social crisis, following the restructuring of an international company specialized in wireless semi-conductors.
