Criminal law

Are you the victim of an offense?

You are a private individual, a company or an administration and you wish to file a complaint or to follow up on a procedure already initiated, whether at the national or international level?

You are a victim of cybercrime; a ransomware has blocked your servers?

You are defamed and harassed on the Internet, or your privacy is being violated on the web?

Whether the perpetrator is already known or whether an investigation is required, the firm has a specialized team that offers you assistance in the following areas:

  • assistance in the implementation of the NIS Directive and other applicable legislation;
  • assistance during cyber attacks;
  • filing and follow-up of complaints;
  • direct summons to appear before the criminal court;
  • filing of a civil suit;
  • approach, assistance and defense of interests in court or within the framework of a penal mediation;
  • procedure for the evaluation and recovery of your damages;
  • proceedings before the Court of Cassation in criminal matters.

In addition, our international network of lawyers can be used to pursue these proceedings worldwide in an efficient manner.
