What we do

Social security and social protection issues

Social security contributions represent a considerable cost for most companies, as they are collected by bodies that have great enforcement powers over companies.

In France in particular, social security law has grown and become more complex these past two decades. A great number of tools have been created to enable companies to improve in particular the refund of their employees’ health expenses and retirement benefits.

Our Employment Law practice group includes a team of specialists dedicated to these questions of social security and social protection law, which advises and assists its clients in all areas of social contribution regulations:

  • At every stage of the inspections carried out by the social security authorities
     
  • Within the context of the international mobility of staff members, requiring the implementation of international and bilateral social security agreements or of rules deriving from foreign or EU law
     
  • When conducting compliance audits to provide an overall picture of the risks arising from non-compliance with statutory and regulatory obligations in connection with the payment of social security contributions
     
  • When implementing healthcare, disability and life insurance schemes, negotiating riders to existing agreements and complying with new statutory, regulatory and collective bargaining requirements
     
  • When assessing the risk exposure linked to the numerous forms of relief on social security contributions and implementing suitable solutions

Our lawyers draw on their perfect command of international and bilateral social security treaties and EU law to regularly advise their clients on international staff mobility in the event of secondment and expatriation.
