Are the firm's lawyers on the side of the employee or the employer?
The firm has won major employment law cases on both the employee and employer sides. The firm‘s strength lies in its 360-degree vision, which enables it to be a reliable and privileged partner for all its clients, and to resolve collective disputes. The firm’s philosophy is to select its employers (VSEs, SMEs, multinationals) and its employees (executives, supervisors, white-collar workers) by defending only just social causes. Both employers and employees can be victims and need help. Our aim is not adversity, but an alliance between employers and their staff in the interests of business development.
What is our role as a divorce partner?
A conflict between partners can be more painful than a divorce in family law. Our aim in a partnership dispute is to resolve the situation amicably, in the interests of our client, to avoid years of legal proceedings before the Commercial Court or the Magistrates’ Court. However, if this proves impossible, we will take the necessary legal action before all courts. In most cases, our involvement in contentious appeals enables us to resolve the difficulties through judicial mediation.

It’s essential to have the support of an advisor to help you cope with the difficulties facing your business. When we are involved in collective proceedings, we act as a privileged interlocutor with the collective authorities.

What is our role in the event of a tax reassessment?
Our first role is to verify the reasons for the tax reassessment.
Just because you are subject to a tax reassessment does not mean it is justified. When the reassessment is abusive on substantive grounds, or sometimes for reasons of form (statute of limitations, for example), we take the necessary action before the tax authorities.
Where tax reassessments are indisputable, we can negotiate with the tax authorities.
