Lawyer Overview
Jean-Michel Bobillo's practice focuses on counseling and litigation aspects of French labor and employment law matters. He has counseled clients on labor and personnel-related issues that have arisen in the context of mergers and acquisitions, outsourcing, restructurings, and dismissals based on economic grounds, employee representation, work-related diseases, and negotiation of separation agreements with senior executives.
Jean-Michel also has represented employers in litigation trials relating to dismissals based on restructurings and plant closures, on personal grounds such as misconduct and professional insufficiency, as well as proceedings relating to work-related diseases. His client representations include companies in the industrial and chemical/life sciences such as Rhodia and sanofi-aventis, the commercial sector such as Newell Rubbermaid, and internet/software companies.
Jean-Michael's recent representations include several French subsidiaries of a commercial American group in the preparation and implementation of multiple restructurings involving multijurisdictional employee transfers and collective dismissals of employees on economic grounds; a French chemical group in the sale of its isocyanates businesses to a Swedish Group, including coordination of employee transfers in multiple countries and related formalities such as consultation of the employee representatives; a French subsidiary of a commercial American group in the defense of a "class action" style litigation following a plant closure based on economic conditions (130 claimants); and U.S. industrial and electronics/semiconductor groups in the defense of multiple claims relating to alleged work-related diseases.
