All department members handle matters relevant to both labour law and social security regulations, each specializing in certain areas of this broad branch of law.
Individual labour law and collective labour relations are the department's
main day-to-day focus, and it has extensive expertise in the international
aspects of these two complementary fields as well.
For more than 30 years, this department has been handling the restructuring
of companies, whether through conventional transfer or otherwise (i.e.
transfers, mergers, divisions and collective layoffs).
This expertise also extends to assistance with social security regulation
matters such as commercial procedures of collective regulation and company
closings, as well as the occasional bankruptcy of major economic groups.
As for individual law, whether drafting an employment contract, executing or terminating it, we provide counsel, issue notices of law suits and negotiate agreements for our clients or defend them in legal proceedings (civil or criminal) or even in arbitration and mediation proceedings.
In this field of law, where the regulations are always being modified, we feel that it is also important to offer companies and groups a legal monitoring service, and even a social security regulation audit service to help them adapt their human resources policies and update and optimize their legal instruments (e.g. special clauses in employment contracts, salary optimization, labour regulations, collective labour agreements, internal labour organization regulations, visits from external protection and prevention services).
The complementarity of department members allows them to address all of these aspects with regard to social security (e.g. taxable compensation, tax deductions, work-related accidents, economic unemployment, early retirement), including the complementary schemes of social protection and the social security tax status of independent consultants that hold board member and management positions.
Finally, the department manages all aspects of law pertaining to medicine, hospitals and health professionals.
