Sam Durand

As a member of the Employment team, I advise and represent our French and international clients on labour law before the courts.

Thanks to a global expertise on all aspects of French labour law, I bring practical solutions to our clients for the day-to-day management of their human resources, as well as representing them in litigation before the courts or during negotiations.

I also have expertise in the labour aspects of mergers and acquisitions, and help clients to achieve growth in national and international markets.

Over the years, I have been able to advise clients from different industries, such as health, automotive, energy & utilities and sport. My adaptability to the different issues facing our clients from a broad range of sectors is one of my strengths.

Before joining Bird & Bird, I was a member of large French and international firms. I now use this experience to deliver excellent service to our firm's clients.
