Situations you recognize, answers that help you move forward.

###   What are my obligations in case of collective dismissal?   

 

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.

###   How do I dissolve and liquidate my company?   

 

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.

###   What are the risks associated with rounds of layoffs in my company?   

 

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.
