Publishing & Training

Editions Lefebvre Sarrut is a European group structured around two activities, professional publishing (essentially legal, tax and statutory) and training. The group appeared in 1999 with the merger of Editions Législatives and the Editions Francis Lefebvre. Since then, the Group has developed both by organic growth thanks to its ability to innovate and externally all over Europe.

Respect (best summed by the words of Jean-Baptiste Bleu, recently deceased, President of ELS Group until 2011): everyone is required to do their work to the best of their ability and be involved with the company's growth.

Trust in each employee. This does not exclude the control and the follow-up of assigned tasks. But it creates a climate of respect and relative freedom,

The largest autonomy possible for executing assignments and a work environment where each one of us can be as creative as possible,

Internal promotion as a priority, whenever it’s possible,

Appropriate behaviour when facing difficulties.

 

Customer proximity: our clients are our “raison d’être”, satisfying them is our main goal. What we owe to them :

Pertinent and personalized solutions of the highest quality: that match as well as possible our clients’ needs, that solve their everyday issues and offer them ever more value and ease of use,

To achieve long-term success: permit our clients to know current applicable law, but equally its past evolutions for a better understanding ; assure them of our ability to accompany them all along their professional career,

To be innovative and indispensable: create new state-of-art solutions, be a forerunner, the market reference,

To be reliable and accurate: as much as in the substance and in the access to our solutions, mostly digital.
