Regulatory and Compliance

Regulatory and Compliance

As regulations pile up, notably those related to financial law, consumer law and product safety, we offer a team of experts capable to clarify your obligations and assist you in dealing with supervisory authorities.

In the past, we have represented our clients before the French Health and Drugs Agency (ANSM), the French Authority on Competition and the Consumer Affairs and Prevention of Fraud (DGCCRF), in relation to issues relating to consumer-products safety, advertisement regulations, comparative advertising, and rules applicable to health (Marketing Authorizations) and homeopathy.

We help you draft your contractual documents and audit your internal processes to ensure that they comply with regulations.

We help you prepare the documentation required by regulatory authorities and accompany you in drafting applications for authorization or accreditation.
 
Our lawyers facilitate dialogue with the supervisory authorities (Financial markets (AMF), ANSM, banking (ACPR) and DGCCRF in particular) and enable you to anticipate your obligations. In the event of an inspection, we can be present on premises during the inspectors' visit and then help you answer their questions or challenge their decisions.
