Since its founding, De Pardieu has a recognized expertise in the litigation practice and represents its clients at all stages of the conflicting or contentious situations they may face.
We represent our French and international clients across a variety of business sectors before the French civil, commercial, criminal and administrative courts, the European institutions, French and international arbitration bodies, and administrative authorities with disciplinary, jurisdictional or investigative powers.
In the context of acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, the team is experienced in auditing litigation files, and the internal procedures intended to identify, handle and settle disputes implemented in the companies concerned. The litigation practice also covers the setting-up of prevention and detection methods of litigation or pre-litigation situations.
We handle complex domestic and international litigation, and further practice alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation. The excellent cooperation between the dispute resolution team and the Firm’s other departments is one of our most valuable assets. In specialist areas such as stock market, competition law, financial regulation and public law litigation, the dispute resolution team’s members work closely with the lawyers from the relevant teams.
