Restructuring measures directly impact human resources, especially regarding redundancies, transferring employment relationships, and organizing social dialogue. Early, legally compliant management is essential to minimize labor law risks and ensure business continuity.
Our lawyers specializing in corporate restructuring and labor law can help you develop a labor law strategy that considers French and German labor laws. They will also ensure the legal compliance of all procedural steps.

If restructuring results in job cuts, it may be necessary to draw up a social plan, such as a Plan de Sauvegarde de l’Emploi in France. This sensitive measure must be prepared early on to avoid legal and social risks.
Our labor law experts will support you throughout the process, including negotiations with employee representatives in France (known as the Instance Unique des Représentants du Personnel/IRP) and the works council in Germany. They will also assist with drafting the social plan and ensuring the process is legally sound.

In the context of restructuring, employers must provide employee representatives with comprehensive information, consult with them, and negotiate with them if necessary. Structured social dialogue is essential to ensure legal compliance and avoid conflicts.
Our labor law experts can help you prepare the necessary documents, hold discussions with employee representatives, and ensure compliance with all labor law requirements in France and Germany.
