Industry
Industry never deals with an incident in isolation.
A foreign supplier undercutting prices, a site sliding into overcapacity, a job protection plan (plan de sauvegarde de l’emploi): each situation involves employment law, company law and, increasingly, customs law at the same time. Dealing with these three aspects separately means losing time that a crisis never gives back.
We support manufacturers before difficulties arise, by securing supply chains and structuring, and during them, when restructuring becomes the only option, with the same team from the first day to the last.
Your experience
The crises our clients face can have a thousand causes. They all have one thing in common: every week of delay costs more than the one before.
Industrial crises unfold in three stages: the employment lawyer who discovers a tax issue, the tax adviser who discovers the customs dispute, each one step behind the other two. An industrial company under strain cannot afford that sequencing.
Our expertise
One matter, one team, one reading of the risk: the customs classification of an imported component, the job protection plan and the financial restructuring are never handled in silos at our firm. We take the problem as a whole, because that is how it presents itself to you.
Our objective is not so much to manage the crisis as to preserve the industrial base that is going through it.
The industry we will be dealing with in ten years will not be today’s: environmental liabilities will appear on the balance sheet as a valuation asset, supply chains will be criminally liable for their most distant links, and the first disputes arising from a decision taken by an industrial machine will seek someone liable whom the law has not yet named.
