Abeille Avocats covers all areas of administrative law, including civil service law. This is a particularly broad area in which the firm intervenes on any issue that may be referred to it.
Despite the changes that have profoundly affected it in recent years, civil service law remains a key issue for the French State and local authorities. Governed by the three major statutory laws of 11 January 1984 on the state civil service, 26 January 1984 on local government and 9 January 1986 on hospital civil service, as well as various implementing texts, civil service statutes govern the day-to-day lives of more than 5.5 million civil servants in France.
The latest major law transforming civil service (no. 2019-828 of 6 August 2019) is designed to renew the framework and practices of social dialogue in the civil service and extend the use of contractual workers. It also deals with mobility and career transitions for civil servants. It reinforces the exemplarity of administrations in terms of ethics and professional equality. It overhauls the human resources management framework.
Some of the measures introduced are inspired by private law, such as social committees, project contracts, short-term contract bonuses and contractual termination.
