Dispute Prevention & Resolution

Anticipating and managing conflict to create value
To be competitive, companies must anticipate and cost-effectively manage the risks that may affect their financial solidity, assets, growth and reputation. To meet these challenges, our litigation team of lawyers, legal experts and mediators work with you to build an appropriate strategy for preventing risks and protecting your interests.
Well-versed in the various procedures and mastering the methods of proof, we accompany you at every stage, to identify, anticipate and deal with the litigation risk, by proposing tailor-made solutions: audits, risk-mapping, executive and staff training, securing guarantees, negotiations, alternative dispute resolution, court or arbitration proceedings, enforcement of court decisions.
We deliver personalized, expert, pragmatic solutions, adapted to complex situations. Our team is especially recognized in the areas of corporate and contract law, directors’ and officers’ liability, distressed companies, white-collar criminal law, real estate and construction, and cross-border disputes.
Our day-to-day litigation practice, knowledge of the various courts, crisis management experience, and synergistic collaboration with all of Fidal’s practice groups and foreign partner firms, ensure that you will receive responsive, comprehensive and strategic advice. Located throughout France, involved in their local communities, our 130 professionals know your socio-economic environment and are close to you.

Our litigation team regularly assists in defusing and managing conflicts related to share purchase agreements, breaches of representations and warranties, shareholder conflicts, governance crises, and officer and director liability.

We offer you a dedicated team capable of intervening urgently as well as throughout the proceedings, whether in white-collar criminal law (misappropriation of corporate assets, breach of trust, fraud, tax evasion, etc.), employment-related criminal law (serious injury, harassment, undeclared labor, etc.), environmental criminal law (classified facilities, pollution incidents, etc.) or cybercrime matters.
Our lawyers can also assist with your prevention policy, whether through risk-mapping, executive and staff training, or setting up preventive tools (delegation of powers, code of conduct, whistleblowing procedure, etc.).
Acting on behalf of owners, general contractors and builders, our litigation team can assist you with preventive injunctions, amicable and court-ordered expert appraisals, claims under implied warranties, and insurance disputes.
Likewise, whether you are a tenant or a landlord, our team can assist you in concluding, renewing or terminating your leases, as well as in all your disputes, particularly before the commercial rents court.
Divorce, incapacity and death are just some of the events that can affect business owners’ assets and sometimes jeopardize their business. We can help you anticipate these situations and assist you in protecting and facilitating the transmission of your assets.
