“Some weeks later, the same company asked to prepare employment contracts for two French individuals and a recommendation for a payroll company in France. Subsequently, Lionel took the opportunity to visit the client in the UK which led to working on different HR topics.”

Lionel Paraire of Galion in Paris has worked with a multitude of IR members globally. One instance was where Alistair McArthur, Partner and Head of Employment from Herrington & Carmichael LLP, referred one of their clients, a manufacturer of protective cases for electronic devices based in London, who was looking to terminate the agreement of a contractor in France. He introduced the Group Head of HR and the same day corresponded with the client in order to understand and assess the case (termination of a contractual agreement which followed a fixed-term employment contract renewed once). The following day the client received an analysis and the potential risks related to the contemplated termination. Some weeks later, the same company asked to prepare employment contracts for two French individuals and a recommendation for a payroll a company in France. Subsequently, Lionel took the opportunity to visit the client in the UK which led to working on different HR topics.
