Provided by August Debouzy
August Debouzy has one of the most comprehensive practices in France with all capacities to support international clients on compliance audits and risk mappings in accordance with French and International regulations, as well as on complex corporate investigations led by French and foreign regulators.
August Debouzy is increasingly involved in complex cross-border compliance and regulatory issues and is one of the only independent firms in the French market that interacts with international compliance authorities of this scale. In addition, the firm boasts strong capabilities in European compliance issues, in particular, through the support of Pierre Sellal, Senior Counsel and former French ambassador to the EU. The firm’s leadership in the market allows it to be at the forefront of pending legislation and effectively anticipate potential exposure to risks for its clients. Lawyers in the team are also regularly consulted by French and international governmental entities with regard to pending compliance-related legislation and drafting compliance and anti-corruption legislation for foreign States, including in Africa and in Eastern Europe.
The practice is primarily driven by the firm’s litigation team whose specialists in criminal liability, particularly in relation to fraud, corruption, and industrial accidents, regularly work alongside other practice teams, including finance/market regulatory, data protection, cybercrime, employment, and tax.
