Assessment of rights, duties, documents and risks related to employment relationships, through advisory work and litigation.

Guidance based on facts and documents

Labor matters require attention to deadlines, the contract, how the work was actually performed and the evidence available. An individual review makes it possible to assess preventive, negotiated or judicial measures.

Matters frequently reviewed

  • contractual and termination payments;
  • working hours, breaks and overtime;
  • recognition or challenge of an employment relationship;
  • temporary job protection and statutory guarantees;
  • workplace accidents, occupational illness and leave;
  • drafting and reviewing labor agreements and documents.

Deadlines matter

Some rights are subject to specific limitation periods and procedural deadlines. Guidance should be sought promptly, especially following termination, receipt of a formal notice or the scheduling of a hearing.

This page provides general information and does not replace a review of the contract, employment records, payment receipts and other evidence in the matter.
