Dispute resolution / International arbitration

Our Dispute Resolution & International Arbitration team comprises highly skilled lawyers, all driven by the same goal: protecting our clients’ interests.

We use disputes resolution as a strategic tool. Our work is based on a strong understanding of each client’s business and issues. We work in a truly collaborative way, side by side with in-house legal teams and relevant operational or technical stakeholders.

We handle all types of business disputes and emergency proceedings before French and EU courts.

The team also has deep experience in international commercial arbitration—especially ICC—and regularly represents clients in proceedings to recognize and enforce arbitral awards.
