The law firm has made the move at a time when French and European legislation is requiring business players to comply with obligations and deadlines that demand specific legal skills. The business ethics practice group includes approximately 20 lawyers and supports companies from the initial audit and organisational phase by putting in place alert and protective mechanisms which include codes of conduct, internal whistleblowing procedures, risk and data mapping, updating of internal rules and regulations. 

Safety guarantee

‘Our complementary teams and our international approach, as well as the close relationships we have built with specialised consultants (crisis communication advisors, data and IT mapping,…) represent a safety guarantee for our clients,' said Gilles August, founding partner. Partner Bernard Cazeneuve added: ‘Our experience with regulators before courts and our knowledge of European institutions are true assets in defending our clients’ interests when crisis situations occur.’
