Our DNA

Unique on the market, our global offering combining employment law and vocational training law allows us to respond to the latest concerns and needs of human resources professionals.

We put our expertise and experience at the service of our clients, helping them face up to the profound changes occurring in the business world and rebalance the employer/employee relationship, which has been transformed in only just a few years.

Armed with our experience and our complementary skills and expertise, we created an innovative service offering to help businesses organize their social dialogue, contemplate new legal frameworks governing how people work, and to anticipate and support them during transformations and with their employees’ career transitions.

Our “full service” expertise in vocational training law is particularly unique on the market and responds to the growing needs employers and occupational branches have for assistance with their training policies and professional employment and skills planning so that they can attract and retain talent.

In the context of a working world experiencing profound changes, Littler’s attorneys provide their clients secure solutions for responding to their employees’ expectations and turning those expectations into actionable priorities. In an increasingly internationalized context, their know-how, combining employment law with vocational training law, guarantees that they possess an understanding of the actual challenges businesses face.

The attorneys at Littler France provide fully committed advice to their clients by being attentive, understanding their culture and organization, experiencing changes in the working world with their teams, continuously monitoring societal changes in the various business sectors.

Driven by a powerful team spirit, we seek to build lasting relationships with our clients, lawyers, staff and partners, with the human dimension that naturally goes along with long-term relationships.

Our methodology

We provide a wide range of services, including legal advice, representing our clients before the courts and performig inter- and intra-company training.

We adapt our billing terms in view of the type of matters as well as client requirements.

We aim developing long term partnerships with our clients, especially through consultancy partnerships, giving clients greater access to our teams.

For ad hoc assignments, we prepare provisional budgets based on an estimate of the time we are likely to work on the matter.

Our tools and organization allow us to closely monitor and detail time spent on cases so that invoices are based on our team’s actual time investment on the matter and the complexity of the file.

An engagement letter drawn up at the beginning of the relationship defines how legal services will be invoiced. We also provide a list of all our attorneys’ hourly rates.

Each invoice includes a detailed breakdown, enabling clients to know what services were provided over the invoice period and and were charged in the invoice.
