Associations andsocial and solidarity economy players
Associations and social and solidarity economy players drive high-impact projects at the crossroads of legal, human and financial challenges.
Governance, employee relations, financing, public or private partnerships: their development calls for appropriate legal structuring, without losing their identity.
Cloix Mendès-Gil supports you in securing your activities, structuring your organisations and advancing your projects, taking account of your specific characteristics and commitments.
Describe my needYour challenges
Every day, social and solidarity economy players demonstrate their essential role alongside businesses and public bodies.
Their development brings a number of structural challenges:
- evolving governance without distorting the organisation's founding purpose
- securing financing that is often hybrid in nature (public and private)
- structuring organisations that bring together employees, volunteers and partners
- carrying out consolidation or transformation operations
- meeting increasing legal and regulatory requirements
The challenge is clear: to professionalise, structure and secure your development, while remaining true to your purpose.
Our solutions
We support social and solidarity economy players with an approach that combines a genuine understanding of the sector with legal rigour.
We assist you, in particular, with:

- securing your relationships with employees, volunteers and partners
- supporting your employee relations and preventing psychosocial risks
- overseeing your practices and internal processes
