The success of an international assignment depends largely on the family that follows: a partner who gives up a job, children schooled in another system, a couple far from their relatives. A move can also change the law governing the couple’s property, the court with jurisdiction in the event of separation and each parent’s rights. I work with companies, HR departments, relocation firms and welcoming associations to inform employees and their families, and to prevent difficulties before they jeopardize the assignment.

Guarantees
Collective sessions are general: they do not involve individual legal advice. An employee who wishes to receive personal advice books a separate consultation, covered by professional secrecy. In mediation, confidentiality is total: the company is informed only of participation, never of the content of the discussions.
