01 July 2025 Litigation: Conference in LJA

We are pleased to share the publication of an article in the magazine LJA – LA LETTRE DES JURISTES D’AFFAIRES – (Supplement to the Lettre des Juristes d’Affaires n°1685 dated June 16, 2025), on the occasion of a Round Table attended by François de Bérard, Litigation Partner.

🎤 This Round Table focused on the strategic theme of “Evidence as a transaction tool” and highlighted the central role of evidence – notably via Article 145 of the Code of Civil Procedure – as a lever of influence in dispute resolution, revealing how an anticipated and controlled approach can transform a dispute into a negotiation opportunity.

During this debate, the speakers focused their exchange in particular on:

🔹 Article 145 of the Code of Civil Procedure;
🔹 Companies’ strategic preparation for this procedure;
🔹 The differences between 145 and American-style discovery;
🔹 The reflexes to adopt in practice when faced with a request for 145;
🔹 And above all, how to optimize negotiation strategy through mastery of evidence.

📖 The article can be found in the latest issue of LJA (Supplement to Lettre des Juristes n°1685, June 16, 2025).
