Labour law

The labour law department at Alexen endeavours to assist company performance. In a fast-paced legal environment that makes it difficult for company directors to be constantly updated, Alexen provides its legal expertise and managerial experience in the context of the companies’ daily activity and events that it may encounter.

Ydès assists the director to manage the labour law and the social relations of its company, to anticipate the consequences of new regulations, to prepare the social aspects of developments and restructurings and to put them into practice.
