You are a company that belongs to a group of more than 1000 people in Europe and you close an establishment: leave your search for a successor to an expert advisor in order to fulfil your legal obligation and assure that your Employment Protection Plan (PSE) runs smoothly.

Who is involved?

(articles L. 1233-57-9 to 21 of the Labour Code)

A company, belonging to a group of at least 1000 employees in Europe, planning to close an establishment resulting in an economic lay-off plan, is now required to search for a successor and give a motivated response to each of the purchase offers they receive, this obligation applying to collective redundancy procedures entered into from 01 April 2014.

Failure to fulfil this obligation could lead to administration not validating the PSE.

This approach could be initiated in a preconditional, confidential manner before the beginning of the PSE procedure.

The search for the successor of a business or an industrial site could also proceed with a logic outside of PSE:

First of all, it could be regarding a voluntary approach designed to grant a specific activity (outside of core business activity) that the company no longer wishes to maintain within its organisation, and represents either part of the the overall activity of a site, or all of the activity of a site.
