Complex litigation

What we do

Our firm is distinguished by its expertise in managing complex litigation related to corporate governance, shareholders’ rights, accounting irregularities, and, more broadly, violations of financial regulations.

We frequently handle cases involving accounting fraud, which demand in-depth knowledge of securities law and securities litigation.

To enhance the likelihood of securing compensation for investors adversely affected by misleading communications from issuers, we collaborate closely with litigation funds, thereby facilitating the financing of legal proceedings.

Whom we work for

  • Traditional institutional funds (asset managers)
  • British and American hedge funds
  • Associations of individual investors

How we do it

Thanks to our holistic approach, combining legal, financial and accounting analysis, we explore each case in depth, while limiting the need to call on external experts. This seamless integration of the various dimensions of the case enables us to propose innovative solutions and clearly distinguish ourselves from our competitors.

By analyzing cases through the lenses of accounting, financial, and legal aspects, we offer our clients a comprehensive understanding of the risks and opportunities in complex litigation. Our deep understanding of regulatory frameworks surrounding listed companies enables us to craft compelling legal strategies tailored to
each case and, when needed, raise capital to fund litigations.
