Collective dismissal & closure
Decisions about collective dismissal or closure are among the most difficult for any business owner. You want to minimise the impact on employees while meeting the legal requirements of such a process.
By understanding procedures, communication duties and possible alternatives, you can choose an approach that is fair, compliant and manageable. This helps maintain clarity and respect during a challenging period.
Recognizable situations
Situations you recognize, answers that help you move forward.
Collective dismissal is governed by strict rules. You must inform and consult employees and unions and prepare a social plan. The Renault law imposes precise steps that must be followed.
Mistakes in the procedure can lead to compensation claims or annulment of dismissals. Legal guidance is essential to avoid risks and ensure compliance.

A voluntary closure begins with a formal dissolution decided by the general meeting, followed by a liquidation phase in which debts are settled and assets distributed. Each step must be properly executed and recorded.
Even in amicable closures, mistakes can lead to delays, liability or tax consequences. Legal guidance ensures the procedure runs smoothly and correctly.

Rounds of dismissals involve both legal and human risks. You must properly justify each termination and respect statutory notice periods or severance payments. There must be no discrimination or abuse of rights.
A well-planned strategy and prior legal advice help prevent procedural errors and reduce the impact on employees and your organisation. Clear communication supports stability and trust.
