A guide and defender becomes essential in these circumstances. Opening an oyster is not given to everyone !
Labour law has developed its own requirements well beyond the need of adequate contractual provisions and contracts. New provisions and standards are born, including those from a criminal, administrative and social nature (harassment, discrimination, protection of privacy, personal data, protection, risks, rights in the event of business transfers, accounting requirements, collective bargain agreements, private pension schemes etc.)
We provide our clients and other professionals, regardless their field of activity, with our expertise in the area of civil law, including any liquidation difficulties as consequences of their divorce, all questions of contractual and tort liability. The evolution of electronic communications and the Internet, as well as the increased development of electronic databases, increase the risk of proliferation of personal information which is erroneous or incomplete, a situation which may prove to be very harmful and generally inappropriate. We have a long standing experience in having your data "cleaned" which are not in relation to an evidenced reality or not otherwise justified, and claim damages if necessary on your behalf.
Useless to cry when it comes to the disaster, it's better to do things within the spirit of the law up from the scratch.
