Since its creation, FTPA has acquired recognized knowhow and expertise in dispute resolution, one of our core practice areas, relating to complex matters as well as assisting clients both at pre-litigation and post-litigation stages.
We routinely rely on our diverse and multilingual / multijurisdictional litigation capabilities to advise and act for French and international clients.
Our litigation skills also include advising clients on suitable strategies, depending on the type of dispute and interests at stake, particularly to prevent or settle disputes out of court.
At the stage of open litigation, our teams routinely act before both French and foreign courts, as the case may be, to assist local correspondents.
We have significant expertise in specific areas such as calling in of bank guarantees and technical and complex litigation that require, amongst others, Court -appointed expert proceedings.
