...simple solutions exist

In a world in which employment is increasingly regulated and complicated, knowing one’s rights and trying to assert them effectively can be a real struggle. A long and costly lawsuit may be avoided by getting sound legal advice. Consultation with a lawyer opens a constructive dialogue that can lead to an expeditious finding of appropriate solutions.

When faced with an impasse, recourse to an experienced lawyer enables the assertion of one’s rights in an efficient and thoroughly legitimate way.

...what to do?

Take the leap. Do not wait to find yourself in a disintegrating situation. Simple steps can be sufficient to quickly resolve a problem. Contrary to the received wisdom, the assistance of a lawyer saves time and money.

In a complicated situation, your defence and your ability to assert your rights are crucial. You must be able to count on a lawyer who is readily available, skilled and combative. In view of the impact that a dispute regarding labour law may have on the employee’s daily life or the company’s future, a personalized and appropriate strategy must be developed in a relationship of trust.

From the outset, it is essential to take the measures that are necessary from an overall perspective with respect to both the personal and financial stakes. The cost of a lawyer must not put a brake on an efficient defence. Hence, if your financial resources are modest, you can apply for legal aid.
