Nathalie is an experienced employment lawyer with a clear international and client focused vision. She is a Counsel in the International HR Services Group based in France.
Nathalie advises international corporations in both individual and collective French employment law matters, such as contracts of employment and internal regulations, termination procedures, post-termination obligations and business protection, as well as compensation schemes.
Nathalie regularly advises on international mobility, transfers of employees, corporate transactions and restructuring plans, including cross border matters. She assists clients before French courts in litigation related to employment issues.
She was admitted to the Lyon Bar in 2004 and joined Bird and Bird in 2009. She holds a French postgraduate diploma in business and employment law (DESS-DJCE) and obtained a Master of Trilingual Business Lawyer qualification (JTA), after spending a year in Berlin (Germany).
A French and English native speaker, she is also fluent in German.
I am a dual-qualified employment lawyer with extensive experience in the French and European aspects of individual and collective employment matters. I am a Senior Associate in the Employment Group based in France.
I work extensively with international companies conducting business in France, in particular on French employment issues relating to corporate transactions and cross border projects. I have experience coordinating Europe-wide restructuring plans, and regularly work on multi-jurisdictional compliance requirements relating to the harmonisation of codes of conduct, policies and general employment terms and conditions.
In addition to collective employment law matters, including collective dismissals, outsourcing operations and employee transfers, I work on aspects of individual employment relations including individual dismissals, employment contracts, compensation plans, employee invention assignments, and the protection of confidential information and Trade Secrets.
I first joined Bird and Bird in 2006. I hold an LL.B in English and French laws and a diploma in French law. I am admitted to practise in New York and was admitted to the Bar in France in 2009.
A native English speaker, I also speak fluent French.

Receive a 20% discount when you book more than one event, or book more than one person on the same event. Please note this discount only applies to the lesser priced booking and when all bookings are placed together.
You are entitled to a 25% discount on your booking if you are a registered charity. This discount will show on your invoice once your booking is submitted. You will need your charity registration number for the booking form.
You can purchase and access a full recording of selected international employment law events. This is an option for those who cannot attend an event on a particular day or those who wish to share knowledge with colleagues. Full slides and documentation are provided and the recording is accessible in easily digestible bite-sized chunks. Get in touch to learn more.
Technology is bringing about seismic shifts in how we communicate on both a personal and business level. This is particularly evident in how learning is consumed and JSB is committed to delivering its L&D services in a way that optimises all appropriate technology.
In each case participants receive a documentation pack which includes any presentation material alongside a supporting narrative giving useful background information.
Choose the right approach for you:
The most valuable form of learning delivery continues to be the face-to-face classroom-based event. Engaging with expert speakers and fellow participants in relaxed two-way discussion in a distraction-free environment offers a valuable and practical learning experience.
All JSB programmes take place in top venues in central London and participants report that they greatly value the opportunities that these events provide for learning and networking.
We frequently welcome participants from overseas to our London events. However, we recognise that HR professionals who are responsible for managing workforces in these countries will not always be able to make the financial and time investment necessary to attend JSB events when they run in London. You will have the opportunity to submit questions to the speaker throughout the event and will get access to the slides and documentation in exactly the same way as those in the room. All you need is a standard domestic broadband connection.
Should you find that you can’t wait until the next event on your chosen topic, you can access a full recording of a recent live event. Again, full slides and documentation will be provided. This is an option for those who cannot attend an event on a particular day. Moreover if the learning is to be of practical value it is often the case that even those who participated on the day welcome the opportunity of accessing the material in the weeks and months following the event. It’s a great way to share content with colleagues too.
What next?
Go to our booking form and when you select the event you wish to book on, simply choose the option that best suits you. If you are interested in the on demand access, please get in touch to find out more.
Any course can be delivered on an in-house basis.
