Elise started her career as a legal expert for an investment fund.

Eager to keep ties with the business world while at the same time practising as a lawyer, she oriented her work towards the area of labour law, both at PwC and later when she joined the employment law department of an independent business law firm in 2013.

With the creation of ELSE, she is part of a common desire to fully satisfy companies’ needs and to provide cutting-edge expertise in matters of employment law.

In this way, Elise assists the firm’s clients in all areas of labour and social security law legislation.

She provides companies with advice on various matters including international issues (mobility, expatriation, managing staff relocation to France).

Elise is a member of the MAABN (Mediterranean Anglo-American Business Network) and of the Business Professional Women network.

She is also a teaching assistant at Aix-Marseille University.

After her first professional experience as a legal expert at an accounting firm, Sandrine joined an independent business law firm when its employment law department was first set up.

From the very beginning of her career, she has focussed on acquiring an expertise in both employment and corporate law, which today gives her a cross-disciplinary view on her work in matters of labour law.

Setting up the ELSE law firm was consistent with her desire to be as close as possible to the issues facing companies and to provide them with active support on a daily basis.

Deeply involved in community work and professional networks, Sandrine is part of a BNI (Business Network International) group and member of the Business Professional Women network and has chaired her bar’s young law professionals’ union (UJA).

She also teaches at Aix-Marseille University, at the ESPI and at the ENADEP.
