April 13, 2015 (Paris) – Once again, Proskauer’s Paris employment law group was ranked in Tier One by The Legal 500 EMEA 2015, and was noted for providing “high reactivity and reliability” and “adapted advice on sensitive matters.” Proskauer’s Paris office was also recommended in the category of France-Mergers & Acquisitions.

The Paris labor team, made up of 14 lawyers, handles matters of discrimination, departure schemes and collective disputes, and acts for leading companies in the automotive, luxury, financial services and distribution sectors. Yasmine Tarasewicz, co-head of the firm’s International Labor & Employment Group, was distinguished by The Legal 500 as a “Leading Individual” in French employment law. In addition, partner Béatrice Pola, special international labor & employment counsel Cécile Martin, and international counsel Cédric Jacquelet, Fabien Ganivet and Nicolas Léger were noted for their excellence.

The lawyers in Proskauer’s Paris office have experience in multijurisdictional transactions that include mergers and acquisitions, private equity, corporate restructurings and joint ventures. The office serves as a key component of the firm’s International Labor & Employment Group, focusing on collective bargaining, litigation and counseling with a particular emphasis on large corporate reorganizations and discrimination and wage inequality matters.
