The Legal Weekly
Dear Winston Churchill...
What lessons did Winston Churchill have to offer us...
When he said that "to improve, one must change. Therefore, to be perfect, one must have changed often", he was teaching us that man, and especially the entrepreneur, is constantly seeking change and improvement.
In my Legal Weekly of 11 May, I explained that entrepreneurs like challenges and know how to meet them.
To do this, accept the upheavals, the phases of reflection, even the phases of emptiness and sometimes that feeling of losing your footing.
These moments, which you may perceive as negative, are in fact necessary to the life of a company because they are creative: creation of new commitments, development of new professional relationships, analysis of customer relations, implementation of new processes.
And if you are anxious about so many projects, get a cat! But unlike him, don't purr!
Change, move forward, take advice on everything that concerns the life of your company: its financial health, your contracts, your employees, and many other areas.
Dare! by using a law firm that will be able to accompany you in the drafting of your documents, the management of conflicts or in the framework of a legal procedure.
Like you, Cécile ZAKINE is taking up the challenge!

Frequently asked questions
How to manage change in a company without conflict?
Involve employees from the start, communicate clearly on objectives and steps, and train teams. Legal support can secure modifications to contracts or internal regulations. Listening and transparency are key.
Can I impose a change of organization on my employees?
Yes, if the change falls within your management power (e.g., reorganization of the department), but you must respect the employment contract and collective agreements. In case of a modification of the contract (e.g., change of position), the employee's consent is required.
What are the deadlines to implement a change in a company?
There is no legal deadline, but a reasonable notice period (1 to 3 months) is recommended to prepare the teams. For a job protection plan (PSE), the deadlines are longer (consultation of the CSE, notification to the administration).
How much does legal support for a change of organization cost?
Fees vary according to complexity: expect between €2,000 and €10,000 for full support (audit, drafting documents, consultation with the CSE). A lawyer may charge a flat fee or by the hour (€300 to €500/hour).
What to do if an employee refuses the change?
First try negotiation. If the refusal persists, you may consider dismissal for economic or personal reasons, but this must be justified. A lawyer will advise you on the procedure to follow to avoid litigation.
