Collective intelligence
A corporate criminal case cannot always be understood through the Criminal Code alone. Depending on what is at stake, we bring together around our lawyers technical experts, accounting professionals and colleagues practising business, tax, employment or public law. Each brings their own perspective; we ensure consistency and translate it into criminal law terms. This tailored organisation makes it possible to understand the company’s business precisely and to build a single defence, rather than a collection of separate opinions.
Technical skill in the service of the defence
Defence does not rest on courtroom experience alone. It requires constantly renewed knowledge of legislation, case law and investigative practice. We maintain this command through the daily practice of criminal law, but also through teaching, training our fellow lawyers and regularly publishing articles for practitioners. Our partners hold the certificate of specialisation in criminal law awarded by the Conseil national des barreaux, following a regulated procedure validating their experience and skills.
A criminal lawyer’s culture
White-collar criminal law speaks of companies, governance and financial flows. But it remains, above all, criminal law. Practising it requires knowing its places, its actors and its decisive moments: interviews, police custody, searches, judicial investigation and trial. This culture of defence enables us to anticipate the procedure, prepare those who will face it and, together with them, protect the continuity and reputation of the company.
Ethics and independence
Advising requires being able to speak freely. Defending requires preserving what is entrusted to us. Our independence, rigorous control of conflicts of interest and absolute respect for professional secrecy form the foundation of every assignment. For nearly ten years, this conception of the profession has also been passed on to the future judges whom the firm hosts every year, for several months, as part of their training at the French National School for the Judiciary (ENM).
