With a heritage deeply rooted in traditional criminal defense, we are proud to be one of the most active litigation firms in France, and to have acquired an international reputation, particularly in the French-speaking world.

Our experience and expertise are recognized in a very wide range of contentious situations, which cover all repressive matters: from the Assize Court to the financial markets authority, from referral to United Nations committees to political-financial affairs.

We are mandated by individuals, companies, international institutions and States, in nearly fifty countries.

Far from proposing standardized approaches, our work consists of understanding and developing the legal environment of each case, offering our clients pragmatic “tailor-made” strategies, and access to all the resources necessary for the effective conduct of their litigation. Depending on the needs of our customers, we mobilize a large network of specialists and experts, all over the world.

Our team has been specifically designed not to be a collection of individuals, but a true collective at the service of the defence.

We have an office in Paris, which is the heart of our criminal defence practice, and an office in Geneva, which specialises in international law, judicial cooperation and complex litigation (involving several disciplines in several jurisdictions). In this capacity, we are regularly asked to set up and coordinate ad hoc teams on sensitive matters requiring global organisation.

Finally, because the firm attaches particular importance to issues relating to access to the law, our team devotes part of its time on a pro bono basis to individuals or associations requiring special legal assistance in view of the issues and values they embody, and which we share.
