SCROLL DOWN

Anticipating and addressing a company’s downturn

Many factors can lead a company to anticipate or suffer a drop in activity: loss of a customer or market, pandemic, economic situation, etc.

At the same time, many legal tools are available to deal with these situations, without jeopardising the company’s viability.

When they call on us, our clients expect us to develop recommendations and strategies adapted to the organisational and functional goals they are seeking, taking into consideration all their constraints, and in particular the complex ecosystem in which they operate, including their partners (social partners, professional sector, Regional Directorates for the Economy, Employment, Labour and Solidarity (DREETS- Directions régionales de l’économie, de l’emploi, du travail et des solidarités), experts, the media, etc.).

EXILAE Avocats thus offers unfailing assistance in the face of the risks generated by a drop in activity. The firm mobilises all of its experience and resources to provide its clients, whatever their size and sector of activity, with operational and secure solutions, taking into account their economic and social reality

Faced with a company’s project to change an existing organisation, internalising or outsourcing activities, restructuring the company, implementing staff reduction plans (employment protection plans / voluntary departure plans), our lawyers and legal experts are involved at every stage, ensuring that the measures implemented comply with the law, while taking into account the social consequences.
