Defective Products
and Insurance Litigation

We assist manufacturers, distributors, and importers facing claims arising from accidents, non-conformities, or product failures. The technical analysis of the incident, conducted with our engineer–attorneys and specialist expert partners, enables us to establish the facts, identify actual responsibilities, and challenge unfounded claims.

We act before civil and criminal courts, in France and internationally, and rely on our network to coordinate defenses across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. Each matter is handled with a litigation strategy calibrated to the economic stakes and reputational risks involved.

Following a loss event, the rapid and effective activation of insurance coverage, including general liability, professional liability, product liability, property damage, and environmental liability policies, is critical to managing the financial impact on the business. We review policies, identify applicable coverage, handle notifications, and negotiate with insurers to secure appropriate indemnification.

In cases of denial or reservation of coverage, we intervene in pre-litigation and litigation proceedings, including before specialized industry bodies such as France Assureurs and ARIAS France, as well as in arbitration. Our command of insurance mechanisms provides effective protection for corporate assets.

When serial defects or repeated incidents give rise to numerous claims, we defend companies in mass litigation with anticipation and coordination. We oversee multidisciplinary technical investigations and negotiate structured settlement protocols. Our approach incorporates judicial, insurance, and reputational considerations to limit our clients’ exposure.

We also act to challenge class actions brought before French or foreign courts. Our effectiveness lies in our ability to manage both the volume of claims and the unique features of each individual case simultaneously.
