Roselyn joined Ernst & Young in Paris in 2001, where her practice focuses exclusively on advising U.S. and foreign-based clients on HR and employment-related issues relevant to doing business in France and Europe.

Roselyn has significant cross-border experience on HR/employment issues regarding mergers and acquisitions, carve-outs, transactions, post transaction integration, the implementation of global restructuring decisions (including supply chain management), SOX compliance, works councils, employee privacy issues, and more generally managing the day-to-day workplace in France and in Europe. Her first-hand knowledge of multi-national companies and her business-oriented pragmatism are central to her approach in assisting clients on how to achieve their corporate objectives while complying with the rigid and burdensome requirements of French and European law.
