Mikaël
PELAN

Mikaël PELAN has lived abroad for several years. This experience and his interest in languages and other cultures have led him to maintain this open mind in his professional activities.

He particularly enjoys working on cases with an international component.

He is committed to and attracted by debate and the confrontation of arguments and has always had an appetite for both individual and collective litigation.

He believes that, just like counselling, this exercise requires a great deal of preparation and reflection upstream, and that litigation is most often won thanks to the strategy developed in its very early stages.

He also appreciates the technicality required to manage issues relating to the organisation of working time and is interested in the cross-cutting subjects of the matter, such as questions relating to health and safety.

Like all LUSIS lawyers, he advises and litigates in all areas of labour law.

However, he particularly enjoys putting the expertise he has acquired in managing litigation at the service of his clients, which enables him to be reactive and pugnacious, particularly in the management of crisis situations.

He has built up a relationship of trust and proximity with his clients, which he considers to be essential elements of his professional practice.
