Employment Law, HR Compliance & Internal Investigations

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

As a Paris-based employment law firm, we help businesses design and implement effective HR policies, structure executive and employee relationships, and ensure compliance with French labor law and international standards. From routine matters to restructurings or crisis management, we combine legal precision with operational fluency.

Our team supports clients in:
● Managing workforce issues related to hiring, working time, compensation, protected status, and termination
● Drafting and negotiating executive contracts, profit-sharing and incentive plans, and internal employment policies
● Implementing HR compliance frameworks in France, including whistleblowing protocols and employee data protection
● Conducting or supervising internal investigations on harassment, discrimination, fraud, or ethical breaches
● Advising on employee secondment and expatriation to France, or outbound mobility of French staff
● Representing clients in individual and collective labor disputes before French labor tribunals and civil courts

We are regularly instructed by companies seeking legal support for HR compliance in cross-border operations, or employment counsel for M&A and restructuring. Our clients operate in diverse sectors—luxury, technology, life sciences, financial services, aerospace—with a shared need for responsive, clear, and strategic legal advice.
