Firm of special case lawyers, experts in the resolution of difficulties or complex situations.
At Cahn Wilson, we bring together a team of lawyers, most of whom have worked together for many years, mainly specialising in civil, commercial, criminal and tax (business) law.
The diversity of our profiles, backgrounds and experience enriches the professional qualities we bring to our work.
While our work is always related to French and European Union law, it is not geographically limited. However, it is mostly concentrated in Europe, primarily mainland France.
Working with an international law firm in the UK has recently confirmed our commitment to independence and strengthened the capacities and resources we mobilise to serve our clients and fulfil our assignments.
We claim an organised positioning focused on performance, with the aim of restoring or even conquering.
We maintain an offensive culture of added value without compromising on the need for legal certainty, which informs all our actions, including how we handle corporate difficulties, a core part of our practice. Our maturities and personalities are particularly valued in this area of work, which is sometimes considered challenging and risky.
Cahn Wilson has built a solid reputation over nearly 20 years thanks to its recognized technical expertise, consistent high standards, and strength of conviction. These qualities enable the company to resolve even the most complex situations.
To this end, we take the utmost care when preparing all our legal actions. This enables us to offer the most informed and effective advice and services possible. Our single goal is to serve the interests and success of the missions entrusted to us.
We work alongside companies and all kinds of stakeholders, including decision-makers, in both crisis management and the structuring of large-scale projects in business law, as well as in civil and commercial litigation and with companies in difficulty.
We have developed long-standing, cutting-edge expertise in managing insurance companies’ financial lines, particularly directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (D&O), with the recognition and support of many institutional players in this market, most often defending the objective community of interests between an insurer and its insured party or parties.
Who we defend
Our clients are companies and their directors, shareholders, buyers and investors, as well as insureds and insurers under directors’ and officers’ policies. We also act for individuals where they are called to account for decisions they have taken.
We work on a continuing basis with court-appointed administrators and liquidators, investment banks, turnaround funds and financial experts who know our practices and methods, and with whom trust has been built matter after matter.
Who we face
We plead for claimants and defendants alike, before the civil and commercial courts. Across the table we most often find financial institutions, industrial groups, contracting parties or fellow shareholders turned adversaries.
The balance of power is rarely even, and that is precisely what governs the way we work and the strategy we pursue in defending our clients’ rights.
