The specific needs of a demanding clientele

While they are a population that is so committed to their work that they neglect their personal interests or family life, if not their health, executives and expatriates are nonetheless affected by forced departures, unfairly denied bonuses, or decisions to terminate employment without real and serious cause.

When the group organizes their departure and they discover the situation or, in the case of expatriates, when the group organizes a premature repatriation without offering reinstatement, they generally feel a strong sense of frustration, if not betrayal.

Their needs for assistance and advice are therefore specific. First and foremost, they want to talk to truly specialized experts who can offer them concrete solutions. As an expert in labor law (link inserted: https://www.astae.com/le-cabinet/principaux-atouts/), Astaé is ideally positioned to act as a privileged point of contact.

A small firm that “has everything a big firm has”

To protect their interests, executives seek lawyers who are as professional and committed as the business lawyers with whom they work or have worked on behalf of the company.

Astaé’s goal is to offer them a service that is at least as responsive and diligent as that provided to their employer group by its own lawyers.

In terms of organization and resources, we have equipped ourselves with the best research tools to enable us to provide high-quality services.

Experience-sharing sessions organized between lawyers within the firm allow us to capitalize on our expertise and apply solutions found in previous cases to new cases. So don’t hesitate: contact us and make an appointment.
