Attorney specializing in severance negotiations in Nantes
Initial negotiations
Are you thinking about leaving your company? Or has your employer started discussions about this?
A severance negotiation is a critical moment. It can help you navigate a difficult situation on favorable terms—provided you have the right support. I’ll work alongside you to ensure a smooth transition and protect your interests, all in complete confidence.
Why should you seek professional guidance when negotiating your departure?
Negotiation is not simply a matter of accepting or rejecting a proposal. Every situation involves significant stakes:
- financial (severance pay, bonuses, notice pay, unemployment benefits),
- legal issues (classification of the termination, risks, rights),
- and sometimes personal (stressful situations, health, career prospects).
Without guidance, people often underestimate their rights or accept terms that could be improved.
My role is to help you approach these negotiations with a clear strategy and a precise understanding of what you can achieve.
A strategic and personalized approach
Before any discussion with your employer, we’ll take stock of your situation. I’ll review your contract, your length of service, your compensation, the context of your situation, and any potential breaches by your employer. This analysis allows me to develop a negotiation strategy tailored to your goals. In many cases, it’s possible to significantly improve your severance terms, particularly in financial terms.
I regularly speak on:
- determine the amount of compensation you can negotiate,
- identify the legal tools at your disposal,
- establish the terms of termination (mutually agreed termination, settlement agreement),
- and avoid mistakes that could be detrimental to you.
Support every step of the way
I can step in at various points:
I also step in during ongoing negotiations when you want to regain control or shift the balance of power.
Depending on your situation, an amicable resolution may be the preferred option, whether through a mutual termination agreement, a settlement agreement, or more informal negotiations. In some cases, negotiations may also take place in the context of a dispute, in connection with ongoing or upcoming legal proceedings.
Our goal: to ensure a safe departure and optimize your travel experience
My goal is twofold:
- enable you to leave your company in a secure manner,

Every negotiation is different. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
That’s why I offer personalized support tailored to your situation and priorities. If you work in an international or English-speaking environment, I can also assist you in English, particularly with your communications and documents.
