Our lawyers will assist you throughout your reorganisation process. From strategy to implementation, our team will assess the financial, economic and employment position of your company, quantify the costs, draft the mandatory documents and assist you in your relations with all parties concerned (experts, trade unions, staff representatives, labour authorities and redeployment units).

The firm is also recognized for its expertise in alternatives to social plans (cost reduction, short time working, voluntary departure plan, etc.).

MGG Legal uses its experience in business law and its network to help you manage the corporate aspects of your transactions (transfers, LBOs or MBOs, mergers & acquisitions) successfully. From auditing and guaranteeing liabilities to staff representatives’ consultation and harmonising company statutes, our firm helps you at every stage of the process.

MGG Legal helps you negotiate innovative collective agreements aligned with your requirements.
We also assist you in the management of your elected representatives, including by setting up an efficient framework (organizing elections, preventing and dealing with potential disputes).

MGG Legal advises you on all issues relating to managing and arranging working time (night work, compensatory rest, on-call arrangements, time package agreements, ways of calculating working time).

Dealing with the constraints of tax and social security law, MGG Legal offers innovative individual and collective remuneration schemes (profit-sharing, incentives and savings plans), customised employee shareholding or retirement systems and, more generally, complementary welfare tools.
Management of the Individual Employment Relationship

We assist and represent our client companies in all aspects of the contractual management of employees (disciplinary law matters, termination of the employment contract and negotiation of settlements).

A company’s duty of safety must allow for the implementation of an efficient prevention policy to deal with psychosocial risks, illnesses and accidents in the workplace.

MGG Legal assists companies in matters of health (occupational medicine, management of accidents on the workplace/occupational illnesses) as well as in matters of safety through the development of the unique document and the relationship with the Health, Safety and Working Conditions Commission of the Social and Economic Committee.

We will defend your interests before the relevant courts every time it is necessary.

Our team of litigation experts defends your interests before all courts: employment disputes, administrative disputes, electoral disputes and disputes relating to trade union designations, social security law disputes following a reassessment by the French agency in charge of recovering social security contributions (URSSAF) or workplace accidents, occupational illnesses and litigation before the regional court (challenges to expert findings, disputes over the interpretation of a collective agreement, etc.).

Officers’ and directors’ increased risk of criminal liability in relation to psychological and sexual harassment, the invasion of employee privacy and workplace health and safety has led MGG Legal lawyers to develop upstream counselling and training services (with particular regard to delegations of authority, the design of professional risk assessment and prevention policies, subcontracting management and the prevention of harassment). We defend companies and officers in connection with the risks related to infringements of working time laws, health and safety rules, psychological and sexual harassment, unlawful leasing of labour or undeclared work.

With business and international law being part of our DNA, we can address matters of corporate governance, challenges relating to the contracts and remuneration of managers, in particular within listed companies and international groups, as well as issues relating to international mobility and expatriation.

We manage every aspect of the officer/company relationship, when officers join the company (negotiating and drafting their employment contract or terms of office, dealing with issues of unfair competition), as well as when they leave (negotiating and drafting settlements) or in case of expatriation.

We also handle disputes brought before the trade courts and employment tribunals.
