October 17, 2017  |  Presentation

Les cinq ordonnances portant réforme du Code du travail, signées vendredi 22 septembre dernier par le Président de la République, ont été publiées samedi 23 septembre au Journal officiel.

Nous vous proposons, lors de cette matinale, de faire le point sur ces ordonnances et, plus particulièrement, de :

  • décrypter et analyser les mesures phares de la réforme,
  • identifier les impacts sur les pratiques existantes,
  • bénéficier de conseils opérationnels pour se mettre en conformité.

For French citizens in New York, this allows for significant planning opportunities. Practitioners will need to understand the contrast between the French heirship system and New York planning laws. This panel will outline the difference between the estate planning and estate tax laws between the two countries, and how the estate tax treaty operates for a decedent subject to estate tax in both countries.
