LBBa

What LBBa does

LBBa (legal entity: SCP LBBa Société civile professionnelle d'avocats) is a French professional law firm founded in 1995 by Henri-José LEGRAND and headquartered in Paris. The firm operates as a Société Civile Professionnelle (SCP), a partnership structure reserved for French regulated legal professionals, with a registered capital of €122,000 and no external shareholders or parent company. LBBa is a pure-play labor and employment law practice, and unusually for the French market, it exclusively represents the employee side: individual employees and public sector workers, works councils (Comité Social et Économique / CSE), and labor unions and employee representative bodies. The firm does not act for employers.

The firm has 17 personnel: 5 partner-level lawyers (associés), 10 collaborator lawyers (collaborateurs), 1 jurist, and 1 assistant. Service lines fall into four categories: individual legal counsel and litigation (dismissal, discrimination, disciplinary, departure negotiation), CSE advisory and representation (establishment, ongoing operations, economic attributions, social and cultural activities, court actions), trade union counsel (collective bargaining, agreement drafting, collective labor relations), and registered training-provider seminars for elected representatives and union delegates. Pricing is delivered through annual subscription arrangements at preferential rates, with announced budgets for judicial actions, and rates adapted to client financial means — producing a recurring revenue base supplemented by case-by-case fees. Geographic coverage extends to Paris, Rennes, Nantes, and Marseille, with lawyers travelling nationally for court appearances and on-site negotiations.

There is no proprietary technology, software product, AI/ML capability, or platform underlying the practice. Go-to-market relies on professional reputation (consistent top rankings in the Décideurs magazine for 2025 in 'Conseil aux salariés' and 'Conseils aux représentants du personnel et syndicats'), a LinkedIn corporate page, a monthly client newsletter, and direct word-of-mouth within the French labor-law and union ecosystem. Customer concentration is not disclosed in enterprise terms but is structurally diversified across individuals, CSE bodies, and unions.
