A domain at the heart of employment relations

Employment and Labour law

Updated in 2026

Employment and Labour law encompasses  all the rules governing relations between employers and employees, the health and protection of workers and the relationship with trade unions representatives and work council representatives within companies. It is a broad and constantly evolving field that directly affects the professional and personal lives of those concerned.

Whether it concerns an unfair dismissal, an unrecognized occupational accident, a situation of moral harassment or a dispute with the URSSAF, the stakes are often high and the deadlines short. Maître Brice Danho intervenes with rigour and responsiveness to defend his clients’ interests, whether they are employees, employers or self-employed, before any courts who have jurisdiction over employment and labour matters across France and West Africa.

Why consult a lawyer in social law ?

Social law is a technical field where limitation periods are often short and procedures strictly regulated. Acting quickly and methodically is essential to preserve your rights.

✔ The deadlines for bringing a claim before the employment tribunal are set by law. Missing them can result in losing all recourse.

✔ A poorly negotiated settlement agreement can deprive an employee of significant compensation.

✔ An employer who fails to comply with dismissal rules risks costly legal consequences.

✔ In cases of occupational accident or occupational disease, acting quickly increases the chances of compensation.

✔ The assistance of a lawyer from the negotiation stage often helps avoid lengthy and costly litigation.

Maître Danho intervenes both preventively, to protect employment relations, and in litigation, to defend his clients before the competent courts.
