The team at Actance is highly regarded for its expertise in high-risk employment litigation, collective bargaining negotiation and restructurings. Harnessing a deep bench with cross-sector expertise, the firm is well-equipped to represent a diverse roster of domestic and international clients across various industries. Co-lead Emeric Sorel advises on all matters concerning collective and individual labour relations, particularly collective bargaining, whilst Pierre-Alexis Dumont advises on HR issues and employee relations. Loïc Touranchet leverages extensive experience in restructuring, particularly in receivership and receivership matters, and Lucie Vincens assists domestic and international companies during acquisition, sale and reorganisation phases. The team was bolstered by the arrival of litigation specialist Frédéric Zunz, who joined in January 2024.
