Elsa Peskine

Elsa Peskine serves as Professor and Co-director of the Doctoral School of Law and Political Science (ED 141) at the University of Paris Nanterre. Her academic profile centers on French labor law with specialized expertise in collective bargaining frameworks and employment relations within complex organizational structures. She teaches courses in Collective bargaining law, Labor law (covering both individual and collective relations), and Employment law, shaping legal education in these critical domains.

Professor Peskine's research program investigates how traditional labor frameworks adapt to contemporary corporate realities, with particular focus on multi-company organizations and employer responsibilities across corporate hierarchies. Her scholarly work examines the tensions between worker protection and economic imperatives, the evolution of collective agreements in multinational contexts, and the legal mechanisms governing workplace representation. She has established herself as a leading authority through her annual Hypercours collection volume on Labor Law published by Dalloz since 2010, co-authored with C. Wolmark.

Analysis of her publication record reveals consistent scholarly engagement with the transformation of French labor law over the past decade. Peskine's work demonstrates how labor regulation responds to organizational complexity, particularly regarding collective bargaining in networked corporate structures, the legal status of multi-employer arrangements, and the evolving nature of work relationships. Her research bridges theoretical legal scholarship with practical implications for workplace relations, making significant contributions to contemporary labor law discourse.

Professor Peskine actively contributes to academic discourse through conference organization and participation. She co-organized the multi-year conference cycle "The major controversies in labor law" (2019-2021), the tribute event "Unions and union law, what movements, Tribute to Jean-Maurice Verdier" (2019), and the "Meetings on ordinances" (2017-2018). Her presentations at national and international forums, including on worker protection in multinational companies and group collective agreements, demonstrate her engagement with current labor law challenges.
