Litigation and dispute resolution

Our French team of litigators is recommended by “The Legal 500 2011: Europe, Middle East & Africa” on a general ground as well as for specific sectors such as insurance

Few law firms in Paris have a dispute resolution team as well-rounded as ours. Major names from industries as diverse as energy, transport, financial services and insurance instruct us on their most complex and commercially sensitive disputes. Our approach to your case will always be a long-term and strategic one. We recognise that you will often wish to avoid the time-consuming process of court-action wherever it is possible to do so. Accordingly, we pride ourselves on our expertise in risk and reputation management. We also have an excellent track record in various forms of mediation, including ADR, and international arbitration under a variety of rules.

Where the courtroom is required, our Paris team is versatile and flexible. As well as in France, the team has wide experience of litigation in Africa, particularly on matters arising from the Uniform Laws promulgated by OHADA (a pan-African organization promoting the modernization of business law in Africa). Here, we notably deal with enforcement measures, security interests and commercial rules. Business ethics and anti-corruption cases have been an area of niche expertise. In assisting you with business ethics and anti-corruption training, we can also help your business with its international business transactions and internal corporate investigations.

  • domestic and multi-jurisdictional experience of handling complex cases
