French employment law training

Who should attend

This French employment law training course is relevant to international HR managers and directors with responsibility for employees in France. It will also be useful to managers and directors who anticipate entering the French market and who need to be aware of their responsibilities to their people. A prior knowledge of French employment law is not required to attend this course.

Synopsis

Based on the Napoleonic code and amended by statute ever since, French employment law is markedly different from the UK’s.

Led by a French employment lawyer with extensive experience advising International and in particular UK clients, this introductory course will provide an overview of French employment law, highlighting key areas and giving you practical insights.

If your organisation is, or is likely to, set up operations in France then you must ensure that you have an understanding of key French employment law as well as information on employment conditions and procedures.
