History and career of Sophie-Laurence Vidal, lawyer in Paris

In advice

In consulting, I consider labor law as a tool at the service of the company, and of my strategy to be deployed within their company:

On an individual level

Drafting their employment contracts: fixed-term contract, permanent contract, hiring formalities, management and drafting of disciplinary sanctions: drafting: internal regulations, warnings, layoffs, etc. Implementation of dismissal procedures individual and/or economic: compliance with deadlines and reaction to dismissal letters), Conventional termination, Transfers of employees, Secondment and expatriation of employees, Retirement…Negotiation following termination of the employment contract to attempt to conclude a transaction between the parties, for companies and senior executives.

On a collective level

The establishment and operation of Staff Representative Institutions (Staff Representatives, Works Council, Health and Safety and Working Conditions Committee), at the level of the company, the Economic and Social Unit or the GroupRelations with the Labor InspectorateNegotiation, Drafting and Review of company agreements, (in matters of working hours, employee savings, remuneration, seniors, health and safety at work, etc.)Advice regarding the negotiation process information/consultation of staff representativesLayoffs for economic reasons, etc.

For SMEs, particularly those experiencing strong growth, my advice can also be assimilated to that of an external HR director. I alert my clients to the points of vigilance, the prevention and security measures to be respected and implemented, I write up the procedures and assist my client in their implementation.
