Mutual termination: securing each step
Timeline, consent, and approval: points to secure before an amicable separation.
Marine Segura
I assist businesses as well as their leaders, with a clear, direct, and personalized approach. I take the time to understand your situation, to provide you with an honest assessment of your options and then work with you to develop a tailored, pragmatic strategy focused on fostering positive labor relations and growing your company.
I advise my clients on all matters of labor law—including individual and collective rights—and represent them in litigation before courts throughout France.
Certified as an in-house investigator by the Paris Bar Association’s Training School, I also conduct internal investigations.
I hold a Master’s degree in Economic Law from Sciences Po Paris. I was sworn in as an attorney in January 2022 and practiced at several international business law firms before founding my own practice. I work in French, English, and Spanish.

Skills
Clear advice, tailored solutions, and rigorous support at every stage.
Advice both individual and collective labor relations: employment contracts, disciplinary actions, negociation of employment contract termination, working time, occupational illnesses and work accidents, relations with employee representatives, compensation policies, assistance with controls from the URSSAF and labor inspections, prevention (general due diligence, reviews of employment contracts, determination of the collective bargaining agreement, etc.), management of identified risks and litigation in defense of the interests of the company and its executives.
Prevention, risk management, and representation of the company and its executives before criminal courts, particularly regarding issues of criminal labor law (undeclared work, illegal labor leasing, involuntary manslaughter and injury, harassment, discrimination, etc.).
Conducting independent internal investigations (harassment, discrimination, regulatory breaches) in accordance with the principles of due process and confidentiality to ensure your company’s compliance with its obligations regarding safety, harassment prevention, and providing good working conditions for your employees.
First call
This discussion allows to understand your situation, to provide you with initial answers, identify your options, and assess the legal risks you are facing.
Following the consultation, the terms of any long-term support (advice, litigation, internal investigation, audit, etc.) are determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the nature of your case and your needs.
You can send useful information ahead of time to help understand your situation.
For matters whose scope can be defined in advance: employment tribunal disputes, URSSAF audits, audits, drafting or reviewing employment documents. The amount is set upfront for clear visibility on cost.
For day-to-day employment law support, especially for small and medium businesses: ad hoc advice, operational consultations, and securing HR practices. An adapted hourly rate can be agreed for small structures.
In some matters, part of the fees may be tied to the result obtained, for example when challenging a dismissal or an URSSAF formal notice, in compliance with applicable professional rules.
Fees
My fees are set with you transparently from the start of the professional relationship.
Under the professional rules applicable to French lawyers, several criteria are considered when determining fees: time spent on your case, complexity, importance of the services provided, economic stakes, your financial situation, my specific skills regarding the considered matter, and costs incurred as part of my work.
In addition to standard billing methods (fixed fee and hourly billing), I can offer partially success-based billing when appropriate. The firm is then associated with the client's risk and the fee is indexed to sums obtained or saved.
I provide an estimate before any work and may request a provision before starting to work. When billing is hourly, a statement of work is included with invoices. By default, billing is monthly.

Violence does not always end with the events endured. For many victims, what follows—whether judicial, administrative, or institutional—can become a new source of suffering. This phenomenon, known as secondary victimization, remains insufficiently recognized despite its profound consequences for those concerned.
