The best part of being a lawyer is that, if you’re curious and diligent, you get to learn and improve your skills every single day.

Syolene advises and represents clients in commercial civil matters, with a particular focus on employment-related issues as well as general contract law and real estate law.

Her employment law practice includes a variety of matters, such as individual employment relationships (non-compete obligations, unfair competition, termination (agreements), wrongful termination, gender equality, harassment, competitive behavior, employer liability, etc.) and collective labor relations (mass dismissals, social plans, transfer of employment, etc.).

In the field of real estate, she assists clients with a broad spectrum of legal issues, including real estate project development, commercial leases, construction defects, and claims involving unpaid contractors or subcontractors. She advises construction professionals, property owners, estate agents, and private individuals in these various contexts.

Syolene is particularly appreciated for her loyalty and devotion, traits that push her to never settle for the status quo. Persistent, she will always seek to propose game-changing solutions for our clients.

She is a member of our employment law and of commercial & contracts practice teams.
