Social aspects are an important component of most M&A transactions (merger, spin-off, acquisition of companies or business), whether in the structure of the transaction, the sequencing of the different stages of complex projects or the social consequences of such transactions.

• assistance in the implementation of information and consultation obligations with employees and staff representatives (consultation schedules, drafting of information memorandum, assistance in conducting the information and consultation procedure);
