The firm advises also its clients during the execution of employment contracts (paid leave, disciplinary sanctions, suspension of employment agreements, amendment of employment contracts, training, transfer, status and remuneration of managers, international mobility, industrial accidents, moral harassment, etc.).

Finally, the firm's lawyers assist their clients in the implementation of dismissal procedures for personal or economic grounds, disciplinary sanctions, the negotiation and drafting of settlement agreements and contractual termination agreements.

MANAGEMENT OF COLLECTIVE EMPLOYEMENT RELATIONS

Our activity is also exercised in the field of management of collective employment relations.

Thus, we work with our clients in the context of the establishment, management and operation of employee representative institutions (organization of elections, establishment of an economic and social committee (CSE), electoral disputes, information and consultation of employee representatives, etc.)

We also assist our clients in the negotiation, conclusion and denunciation of collective company or group agreements.

We advise our clients in the context of their relations with the labor inspection and social security bodies.

Particularity in negociation and conflict management

The DDLC firm is able to offer you an alternative method of conflict resolution through the collaborative process and mutual gains negotiations.

Maître Karen Durand-Hakim can thus assist you in all your negotiations to try to find an amicable solution to your disputes and obtain a lasting agreement in such a context. It is a question of finding a wise agreement, which integrates the interests of the parties, which is durable and which improves or, at the very least, does not deteriorate the existing relationship.

Of course, DDLC also advises and assists its clients in the context of litigation related to the employment contract, in particular before the labor courts.
