Lawyer Rankings

France > Compliance

Praised for its ‘perseverance and excellent knowledge’, UGGC Avocats advises on compliance issues associated with public procurement contracts, in addition to matters concerning anti-corruption and ethical obligations. Thierry Dal Farra, who spearheads the firm’s public business law department, jointly leads the team alongside ‘elder statesman’ Michel Ponsard and Corinne Khayat, who has ‘perfect knowledge’ of data protection issues.

France > EU, competition and distribution

UGGC Avocats‘ practice runs the gamut of EU and competition law, with a particularly strong presence in cartel and abuse of dominance cases – including recently defending clients in litigation stemming from the meal voucher and charcuterie cartels – and in distribution law matters, from negotiating distribution contracts to unfair competition claims. The team also assists with compliance and EU regulatory issues. Corinne Khayat, Michel Ponsard and Malka Marcinkowski jointly head the practice.
