Why a lawyer to negotiate?
When a dispute arises between an employer and an employee, we try to solve it out of court. For the sake of efficiency and as far as possible, our approach is to first negotiate (if necessary, between lawyers) or to mediate with the assistance of a mediator. As lawyers, we are bound by legal professional privilege, allowing us to negotiate an agreement in total confidentiality with the opposing party (if that party is represented by a lawyer or a trade union). In other words, confidential proposals made in the framework of a negotiation can never be disclosed in court.
Intervention areas
We intervene:
- For employees who find themselves in a difficult situation (harassment, discrimination, dismissal, end of career, etc.);
- For employers in their disputes with employees or trade unions.
Tailor-made coaching
We also offer tailor-made coaching to our clients when they wish to negotiate “directly” with the other party to the employment relationship.
