Assisting you.
Advising you.
Defending you!

Companies, executives, public bodies, individuals : we stand by your stand in the context of criminal proceedings, should you be suspected or victim of a crime. We assist, advise and defend you in a pre-litigation context, as well as throughout all stages of the procedure.

We are your partners. We offer outstanding services, while nurturing a relationship based on mutual trust and dialogue, to keep on adjusting to your needs and meeting your expectations.

In order to provide you with efficient solutions, we combine accurate analysis with sharp intuitions. We demonstrate boldness and creativity, while relying upon our expertise and our experience.

We handle complex and international cases, and we work as easily in French and English.

We actively participate in international networks such as the Legal Expert Advisory Panel (LEAP) animated by the NGO FAIR TRIALS, or the European Criminal Bar Association (ECBA), and we frequently work with foreign partners.

Faithful to our oath to « practice with humanity”, the firm takes a number of cases on a pro bono basis, and commit alongside NGOs to serve and promote the ideal of justice, such as FAIR TRIALS or Avocats Sans Frontières (ASF).
