The Practice Area

Our approach

1792 Avocats supports employees facing a difficulty in their working relationship, whether to understand their rights, secure a negotiation or challenge a termination. Employment contract, pay, a sensitive clause, a negotiated exit, dismissal or a conflict with the employer: these situations call for a precise analysis before taking any position.

Our work aims to clarify your situation, assess your room for manoeuvre and build a strategy suited to your interests, whether the solution lies in a confidential negotiation or in proceedings before the labour court (conseil de prud’hommes).

Our areas of intervention

Before signing a contract, an amendment, a non-compete clause, a day-rate agreement, a termination agreement or any document handed to you by your employer, it is essential to understand its real scope. Some wording can limit your professional freedom, your future pay or your ability to bring a challenge.

In particular, we assist with:

  • reviewing your contract, amendment or HR document;
  • analysing the sensitive clauses: variable pay, day-rate arrangements (forfait jours), mobility, non-compete, confidentiality;
  • identifying the risks or the points to renegotiate;
  • advising you before signing or taking a position.

A negotiated departure must be prepared methodically. The challenge is not only to obtain compensation, but to secure all the consequences: timetable, notice period, non-compete clause, confidentiality, unemployment rights, final settlement, any settlement agreement and the preservation of your professional reputation.

In particular, we assist with:

  • analysing your contractual situation and your negotiating leverage;
  • assessing the amounts and conditions that can be discussed;
  • preparing the exchanges with your employer;
  • securing the termination by mutual agreement (rupture conventionnelle), the settlement or the exit agreement.

A dismissal can be challenged when the reasons given are insufficient, inaccurate, disproportionate or when the procedure followed by the employer is irregular. Challenging it requires analysing the dismissal letter, the available documents, the professional context and the evidence that can be relied upon.

In particular, we assist with:

  • analysing the dismissal procedure and its grounds;
  • assessing the potential compensation claims;
  • seeking an amicable outcome where this serves your interests;
  • representing you before the labour court (conseil de prud’hommes) in the event of litigation.
