Our firm distinguishes itself through in-depth expertise in litigation and arbitration, offering our clients tailored solutions for the management and resolution of complex disputes, both domestically and internationally. We intervene with rigor at every stage, from dispute prevention to resolution, including the enforcement of decisions.
Commercial litigation is at the core of our practice. We assist companies of all sizes in managing contractual disputes, strategic partnerships, shareholder conflicts, and disputes related to domestic and cross-border commercial transactions. Our approach relies on a strategic analysis of the economic and legal stakes specific to each case. We intervene before all competent courts, as well as in mediation or conciliation procedures, to prioritize quick and effective solutions. Our goal is to limit the impact of litigation on our clients' business while ensuring a strong and proactive defense of their interests.
Shareholder disputes are among the most sensitive conflicts in corporate law, as they directly affect the governance, stability, and sustainability of the company. Our firm assists companies and their executives in managing these disputes, whether they involve disagreements over strategy, distribution of powers, breach of articles of association or shareholders' agreements, or conflicts related to the exit or exclusion of a shareholder. We favor a proactive approach, seeking amicable and lasting solutions through mediation or negotiation, while remaining ready to initiate or defend our clients in legal proceedings if necessary. Thanks to our technical expertise and understanding of the human and financial stakes, we ensure the protection of our clients' interests while preserving the balance and future of their organization.
In the field of arbitration, our team benefits from recognized experience in institutional (ICC, ICSID, LCIA, etc.) and ad hoc arbitrations. We intervene at every stage of the proceeding: strategy preparation, constitution of the arbitral tribunal, drafting of written submissions, and oral arguments. We also assist our clients in commercial and investment arbitrations, taking into account the specific cultural, legal, and strategic aspects of each case. Our practice encompasses various sectors, such as energy, construction, technology, and financial services.
The enforcement of arbitral awards is a crucial step to guarantee the effectiveness of the decisions obtained. Our firm assists its clients in the steps required to
recognize and enforce awards, relying on applicable international conventions, notably the 1958 New York Convention. We also intervene in cases of challenge or appeal, ensuring the protection of our clients' interests while complying with the often complex deadlines and procedures of this phase. Our expertise maximizes the chances of success, even in difficult legal contexts or when facing recalcitrant counterparties. A Comprehensive and Personalized Approach Our know-how is based on a combination of technical expertise, practical experience, and an in-depth understanding of strategic issues. We work closely with our clients to provide them with tailored, effective, and lasting solutions. Through this approach, we support companies, institutions, and individuals in often sensitive contexts, offering them a service that combines technical excellence and pragmatism.
