I value the reliability of the advice we receive, but also the team’s ability to take a step back, look at the bigger picture and understand the wider context. They have an excellent understanding of our organisation and provide very consistent follow-up. It’s a straightforward and honest relationship built on trust.
Litigation.
Employment tribunal and administrative litigation
Because litigation is never simply a matter of procedure, Renaud Avocats supports employers in individual and administrative employment disputes with a pragmatic, responsive approach focused on defending their interests.
Our approach.
Every dispute has a context that goes beyond the legal case file alone. Before devising a defence strategy, we take the time to understand your organisation, your employee relations issues and the potential consequences of the proceedings.
Our support is based on three principles: anticipating risks, rigorously defending your interests and seeking the solutions best suited to your situation. Because a well-managed dispute should enable you to overcome a difficulty whilst safeguarding the future.
Employment tribunal proceedings
Employment tribunal proceedings are a major source of risk for employers. Whether the case concerns a dismissal, a pay claim, harassment or the termination of an employment contract, each matter requires a detailed analysis of the facts, the applicable law and the appropriate strategy.
We support you at every stage, from risk assessment through to representation before the Employment Tribunal (Conseil de prud’hommes) and the Court of Appeal, with one constant aim: to defend your interests effectively whilst ensuring your HR practices are legally robust.
Examples of our work in administrative litigation
- Challenges to dismissals.
- Litigation concerning constructive dismissal or judicial termination of the employment contract.
- Litigation concerning pay or trade union discrimination.
- Litigation relating to working time and the performance of the employment contract.
- Litigation concerning the reclassification of fixed-term contracts (CDD).
Would you like to discuss this in complete confidentiality?
Disputes with labour authorities
Decisions by the labour inspectorate, the DREETS or other administrative bodies can have significant consequences for your projects and your organisation. Challenging these decisions requires specific expertise and in-depth knowledge of administrative procedures.
We work alongside you to analyse the decisions handed down, assess the options for appeal and defend your position before the relevant courts.
Examples of our work in administrative litigation
- Disputes relating to decisions to grant or refuse authorisation for the dismissal of protected employees
- Challenging a Labour Inspectorate decision refusing authorisation to exceed maximum working time limits
- Challenges to DREETS decisions approving or validating job protection plans (PSE)
Our commitment.
Optimised HR management
Every dispute also presents an opportunity to strengthen your internal practices. We help you learn from each case to minimise the recurrence of risks and improve your HR management.
Well-founded decisions
Our analyses combine legal expertise with an understanding of operational realities, enabling you to act with a clear understanding of the risks and consequences of every decision.
Peace of mind
When faced with situations that are often sensitive and urgent, we provide responsive, committed and pragmatic support to enable you to move forward with confidence.
