Our clients call upon us for swift advice and support, sometimes in matters of emergency, or sometimes because the ebb and flow of their business so requires.

Our lawyers do not settle for responding to our clients’ questions. August & Debouzy has developed an advisory practice where the possibility of its clients’ relations with their partners ending in litigation is always apprehended upstream.

August & Debouzy is a combative firm. In negotiations and litigation, our fighting spirit is an important aspect of our reputation. We approach discussions, debates and disputes only with the aim of winning them.

To offer first-rate legal services, August & Debouzy can rely on its lawyers who all come from very different backgrounds. We recruit from the top universities and business schools and our teams comprise lawyers and paralegals who have worked in leading firms or companies.

Some of August & Debouzy’s lawyers also teach professional development courses at Sciences Po, in business schools, on various Master programs in universities, as well as at various CRFPA (Regional Bar Schools) and schools of administration.

French law often appears to be rigidly set in its written form. Yet the law is alive and is always changing.

We show solidarity with our clients, and our teams attentively focus on preventing and handling risks.  Our lawyers understand the circumstances which mark business life and we aim to offer more than just advice, we are committed to preventing and minimising the consequences of any risks, and, more generally, we aim to establish a close and long-lasting partnership with our clients.

We listen to our clients, and besides our legal expertise, we are also operational in corporate life.

Controlling time, not going beyond a company’s needs, is imperative.
