In recent years, the Parisian legal market has taken a decisive international turn, making it increasingly attractive for the resolution of business litigations.

The creation of International Commercial Courts in first instance and appeal, as well as the consolidation of Paris as a solid arbitration capital, offer accessible and efficient solutions for the resolution of international disputes.
