We are representing several Atos shareholders in a tort action against the company’s statutory auditors, which is currently being launched. The aim of this action is to hold the statutory auditors liable for professional misconduct, in particular due to the insincerity of the certified financial statements and shortcomings in their auditing duties.

This is the first legal action against statutory auditors in France to be financed by a litigation fund. This type of financing makes it possible to mobilize considerable resources to conduct a complex and technically demanding procedure, in the face of adversaries with substantial means of defense. The involvement of a litigation fund attests to the solidity of the case and the credibility of the arguments put forward, thus offering aggrieved shareholders effective access to justice without having to bear the financial cost of litigation alone.

Our approach is based on an in-depth analysis of accounting anomalies, in collaboration with auditing and accounting experts, in order to demonstrate the shortcomings committed by the statutory auditors. We highlight the flaws in the certification of financial statements, their impact on financial information and the direct consequences for investors.

Thanks to our expertise in stock market litigation, corporate law and financial and accounting analysis, we deploy a rigorous legal strategy to defend the interests of impacted investors and assert their right to compensation. This action is part of a broader approach aimed at reinforcing the responsibility of auditors and guaranteeing greater transparency in the governance of listed companies.
