Commercial litigation and industrial risks

Our team of Litigation and Arbitration lawyers intervenes in all areas of business litigation and represents its clients before the French courts and arbitration bodies.

Business Litigation

LERINS & BCW assists French and international companies and their executives in all of their business law disputes in the preventive phase (mediation, conciliation, etc.) and in pre-litigation and litigation negotiation, from the development of strategy and argumentation up to representation before the French courts.

Arbitration

LERINS & BCW intervenes in domestic and international arbitration proceedings either as a lawyer for its clients or as an arbitrator.

Its thorough knowledge of arbitration procedures and its multidisciplinary expertise enable it to effectively represent its French and foreign clients in ad hoc arbitrations as well as before the main arbitration institutions, particularly the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), The International Arbitration Chamber of Paris (IACP), the Maritime Arbitration Chamber of Paris (MACP) and the French Arbitration Association (FAA).
