Vivien & Associés advises French and international companies across the full spectrum of employment law and HR compliance, with a focus on strategic advisory, internal investigations, and complex disputes.

Based in Paris, our employment law team helps businesses design and implement effective HR policies, structure executive and employee relationships, and ensure compliance with both French labor law and international standards. From day-to-day matters to restructurings or crisis management, we combine legal precision with operational understanding.

We assist our clients in managing workforce issues involving hiring, working time, compensation, protected status, and termination. We also handle the drafting and negotiation of executive contracts, incentive plans, and internal employment policies. Our practice includes implementing HR compliance frameworks, whistleblowing systems, and data protection policies.

Vivien & Associés conducts and supervises internal investigations relating to harassment, discrimination, fraud, or ethical breaches, and advises on employee secondment or expatriation to and from France. The firm represents clients in individual and collective labor disputes before French labor tribunals and civil courts.

We are frequently instructed by companies seeking legal support in HR compliance for cross-border operations, or employment counsel for M&A and restructuring.

Our clients operate in diverse sectors, luxury, technology, life sciences, financial services, and aerospace, all sharing a need for responsive, clear, and strategic legal guidance.
