Our lawyers also regularly act as arbitrators, an experience providing them with a valuable insight into the expectations of arbitral tribunals.
Finally, we appear before the domestic courts in France and abroad, in particular in the context of the management and coordination of multi-forum proceedings involving several countries and often related to enforcement proceedings of foreign arbitral awards and judgments (including asset tracking and recovery). We also handle annulments proceedings of arbitral awards before the Paris Court of Appeal.
Our pragmatic approach, our understanding of our clients’ businesses and our creativity enable us to develop, alongside our clients, the litigation strategy best suited to their needs: initiate arbitration proceedings, defend against such proceedings or negotiate a settlement agreement in order to avoid or to put an end to a dispute.
