August & Debouzy has a strong reputation in the area of consumer law.

We regularly advise our clients on the validation of promotions (games-competitions, lotteries, bonus sales, tie-in sales, price promotions, sales, etc.) organised online or through “traditional” distribution channels.

We also assist our clients with defining the information and guarantees which need to be provided to consumers, and with validating advertising campaigns to ensure they comply with applicable rules (e.g. law on misleading advertising, comparative advertising, Evin Act).

Our teams regularly draft and validate the contractual documentation that is offered to consumers by our French or foreign clients (e.g., general terms and conditions of sale or the terms of use of websites) to ensure compliance with French law (e.g. compliance with rules regarding unfair clauses, the Act for Trust in the Digital Economy).
