Labour Law
Focus on understanding the company in order to propose the best adapted solutions
Every day, BMH AVOCATS supports medium and large size, French and foreign companies operating in a wide range of sectors.
Creation, establishment, development, restructuring: BMH AVOCATS intervenes in all the operations that punctuate the lives of companies.
Through its knowledge of the company and its business sector, more than legal expertise, BMH AVOCATS offers pragmatic solutions that are a valuable aid in decision making.
When a company is part of a group we act as a liaison with the parent company, in French, English or German.
BMH AVOCATS regularly organises training sessions that provide valuable opportunities to exchange views. We maintain links with other experts (chartered accountants, payroll managers, consultants on psycho-social risks, specialised recruiters) as well as with foreign law firms.
Each member of the team is devoted exclusively to labour law in an advisory capacity as well as in litigation: two mutually enriching practices.
