Bernard Maingain assists numerous private and public business leaders in the management of their companies, and this since 30 years.
This experience enables him to consider the status of the person at work beyond the boundaries of social law, which he also practices.

This brings him to assist in restructuring operations including collective dismissal, closure of businesses and pre-pensions.
