Employee representation, consultation and collective bargaining.

Meeting table and room

Employee representation

CSB Avocats advises companies on employee representative elections and the operation of the social and economic committee (CSE). It reviews the obligations applicable to the company’s workforce and structure, then prepares the corresponding documents and timetable.

The work also covers meetings, requests for information, representative time off and difficulties arising in the exercise of representative duties.

Information and consultation

Projects affecting organisation, employment or working conditions may require information and consultation. The firm assesses the scope of the process and its relationship with proposed decisions, existing agreements and the powers of the relevant representative body.

It prepares materials, supports discussions and examines expert appointments or challenges that may arise. Recurring consultations are distinguished from those relating to a particular project.

Collective bargaining

The firm advises on agreements concerning working time, remote work, collective remuneration, professional equality and workforce planning. It reviews the conditions for negotiation, signature and implementation applicable to the company.

The analysis considers how the agreement interacts with contracts and actual practice. Where bargaining forms part of a reorganisation, the collective timetable is coordinated with individual measures and the other stages of the project.
