Pacta sunt servanda.
Practice areas
Eight practice areas, one exacting standard.
Every exceptional situation has its own point of entry. Red notices, sanctions, lawfare, exposed investments, businesses in sensitive regions, transnational investigations, sovereign immunities, human rights: eight distinct practice areas, a single method: the strategic architecture of the case before any procedural step.
Unsure where to begin? Describe the situation, not the field of law: an arrest at a border, a frozen account, proceedings brought in a third State, a decision to be secured. The firm characterises the matter and directs you, in complete confidence.

A situation to present? Let us talk.
Exposed individual, executive, business, sovereign entity, political figure, family of a targeted person or correspondent firm: from the moment you make contact, the firm examines the situation as a matter of priority and may arrange an initial confidential orientation discussion to assess the critical deadlines and identify the relevant options. The initial discussion entails no mutual commitment. In French, English and Spanish.
