Our Practice Areas
Four areas built around one common thread: transactions and disputes that go beyond a single national legal system. For each, the situations the firm handles and the practical guides that go with them.
Short answer. The firm practises in four areas built around one common thread, transactions and disputes that go beyond a single national legal system: maritime law (carriage, chartering, ship arrest, general average, yachting), international trade law (contracts, Incoterms, customs, sanctions, arbitration, enforcement of decisions), business law (acquisitions, shareholder disputes, termination of commercial relationships, unpaid debts) and real estate law (commercial leases, off-plan sales, condominiums, latent defects, purchases by non-residents). Each area brings together the situations handled and the practical guides that go with them. Fees are set in a written fee agreement signed before any work (Article 10 of Law No. 71-1130 of 31 December 1971). The firm works in English and French, in Paris, mainland France and the French overseas territories.

We advise shipowners, charterers, shippers and transport professionals on their maritime operations and disputes, from charterparty agreements to losses at sea.
