Our areas of expertise
If your question is about a very specific branch of law which requires a notoriously particular experience, any lawyer respectful of the ethics of his profession will direct you to a colleague specially experienced in this field.
However, we should not separate “generalist” lawyers and specialists into two rival and distinct worlds. Every lawyer must be a generalist, and that generalist can be dedicated to a specific area or have a specialty; on the other hand, the person who essentially practices a specialty cannot be ignorant of general law.
The Firm offers both professionals and individuals a service of legal advice and monitoring and assistance in litigation before all courts, particularly in the following areas of expertise:
We support you
Import fraud and counterfeiting are serious obstacles to trade and industry and aggravate the already unfair competition that many companies face.
Our firm will assist you in all the steps you need to take to protect your brand and products.
At the same time, we intervene with the Customs and Revenue authorities to ensure that your rights are respected in your relations with thess departments, whether it be for imports, exports or excise duties.
The European Customs Code (Regulation (EU) 952/2013) and the Excise Directive (EU) 2020/262 (replacing Directive 2008/118/EC), as well as the case law of the European Court of Justice, require the customs and tax authorities of each European Union country to respect the procedures that guarantee your right to an effective remedy against a measure that may infringe your rights. We ensure that these rights are stringently observed. 2008/118/CE) et la jurisprudence de la Cour de Justice de l’Union exigent des Douanes et des services fiscaux de chaque État de l’Union européenne qu’il respecte les procédures garantissant vos droits à un recours effectif contre une mesure pouvant porter atteinte à vos droits. Nous veillons à ce que ces droits soient scrupuleusement respectés.
Transport transactions, whether for hire or reward or for own account, require the drafting of clear, unambiguous contracts that clearly define the duties, rights, and liabilities of the warehouseman, the shipper, the freight forwarder, the carrier, and the consignee.
The firm will assist you in drafting your contracts. The firm's experience in transport law will also facilitate and expedite the negotiation and conclusion of your dealings.
Litigation can be expensive - depending on the complexity of the case and the conduct of the parties. It can also be inflexible - in terms of the procedures that must be followed according to prescribed rules and timelines. Litigation can also be protracted, with cases sometimes taking years to come to trial. In addition, there may be problems in enforcing a judgment in a foreign jurisdiction.
Arbitration, as an alternative dispute resolution method, offers a different approach to resolving commercial disputes that can better serve the business needs of the parties. It seeks to mitigate the rigors of litigation.
Our firm advises you to insert an arbitration clause in your contracts, which may be severable from the other contractual provisions so that it can survive and be effective even if the rest of the contract is construed as void or otherwise invalid.
Our firm, which has contributed to the adoption of arbitration and alternative dispute resolution laws in many emerging markets, can effectively represent you in arbitration before most arbitral tribunals.
Tax legislation is often complex and sometimes confusing. We can advise you on the applicable provisions and, if necessary, prepare an application for a tax ruling that will secure your operations.
If you are subject to a tax audit, we will represent you to answer the questions put to you in the best possible way and to provide any justification required.
In the event of a persistent disagreement between you and the tax authorities, we will ensure that your rights of appeal are effectively respected, whether it be a simple hierarchical appeal or representation before the appropriate commissions.
Where appropriate, we will also represent you in Court to vindicate your good faith and protect your rights.
The use of escrow services is still in its nascent stage in France.
However, it should develop rapidly as it facilitates the development of trade between manufacturers, wholesalers and traders by guaranteeing that the seller will be paid when s/he concludes a contract with a buyer for the sale of goods or services, and that the buyer will be sure to receive the goods or services s/he has ordered and paid for.
The business of Payment Service Provider is stringently legislated to guarantee the parties to a commercial transaction against the misappropriation of funds by the Payment Service Provider as well as to protect against money laundering and the financing of illegal activities.
Within the framework of the European Directive 2015/2366 (PSP 2) on payment services in the internal market, the activity of an escrow agent is subject to authorization by the French “Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de resolution”.
Our firm will assist you in all phases of the application process, from the preparation of the submission to the definition of the operating cycle, to the drafting of the general terms and conditions and the escrow agreement.
