Jérémie Gicquel is an employment lawyer in the Paris office of Paul Hastings.
He works closely with HR professionals, general counsels, and directors of
French companies and multinationals with local operations in France, offering
them employment law advice notably in relation to management of individual
contractual relationships with key employees and managers (hiring, promotion
and international mobility, termination and settlement), compensation packages
and employee stock incentives (mandatory and voluntary profit sharing
schemes, company saving plans, stock-options, RSUs, etc.), negotiation with
works councils and unions, and more generally compliance with local
employment regulations.
Over the last ten years, he has notably worked closely both with multinational
corporations and private-equity funds and thereby developed an in-depth
expertise in the following two fields:
• advising investors on all employment law aspects raised in the context of
private-equity acquisitions and more generally M&A operations: employment
due diligence, information and consultation on works councils, harmonization of
employee collective status, post-closing process for compliance with local
employment regulations and/or group policies, cross-border issues, and
management transition.
• advising France-based subsidiaries of multinational corporations as they start
operating or increase their operations in France—helping them achieve their
strategic objectives while ensuring compliance with local employment
regulations, notably in terms of working time, organization of employee
representatives elections and collective bargaining, implementing group
policies locally, and managing co-employment issues.
He also frequently litigates complex disputes before French employment courts
on behalf of national and international clients in relation to both individual and
collective employment related claims.
