About

Provided by Gide Loyrette Nouel

We assist our clients in conducting internal investigations (suspected fraud, corruption, money laundering, human rights violations, breaches of international sanctions regulations, etc.), both in France and internationally.

We represent them in civil, criminal and administrative legal proceedings, and when they are called into question by national or foreign authorities, coordinating the defence of their interests and negotiating amicable solutions.

Our dedicated practice includes lawyers with experience in compliance, litigation and criminal business law, giving us a comprehensive understanding of the cross-functional issues involved in these complex cases.

The security and confidentiality of exchanges and data are at the heart of our support strategy. Each time, we deploy a tailored, personalised approach to design, implement and evaluate compliance programmes tailored to the requirements of the relevant authorities.
