Investigations

Preparing your company representatives for investigations and procedures by administrative authorities (competition authority, government body or data protection authority) and helping them develop the right instincts is essential in such situations for any company. With our firm’s resources, we quickly send you experienced lawyers to assist your company and your employees during investigations. We can also assist your company with litigation related or based on competition or administrative French and EU authorities’ procedures.

E-commerce

We can help you frame and legally secure your website, both in France and abroad, taking into account the ever-increasing legal and regulatory obligations of e-commerce players (consumer and regulatory affairs, personal data protection, etc.). We can also manage litigation before both EU or domestic courts, and government bodies such as the DGCCRF, DDPP, DIRECCTE, ARPP, ANSES, etc.

Compliance programme

We work with your representative and teams to conduct a compliance assessment (competition practices, consumer affairs, regulated sectors, Sapin II Law, etc.) and make concrete suggestions.

Construction industries and offsite renovations

Committed for many years in energy transition and building renovation, we assist you on the emerging offsite construction market.

This trend towards industrialization, boosted by new forms of cooperation and by the spreading of digital technologies, is shaping the building of tomorrow. Components are remotely manufactured after having been specifically designed for efficient assembly on a building site, accelerating the construction process and reducing nuisances.

It is now time to secure the benefits and opportunities of these innovations created in the workshop from the collaboration between designers and producers. We need to allow funding from the beginning of the study phase for solutions that will support employment, circular economy and energy performance.

These new buildings will be progressively connected to send data, which will have to be processed adequately. The combination of our advanced expertise in real estate, energy performance, IP-IT and industrial contracts led us to draft new contract models ("CORELIAS") in order to meet the new challenges in a pragmatic way.
