Gramond

Dispute resolution, Litigation, Arbitration

Having practised business litigation for 30 years, he has developed particular expertise in post-acquisition litigation and financial disputes (enforcement of liability guarantees, price adjustments and supplements, defects of consent, etc.). He draws on his dual training in law and finance/accounting and his experience in auditing at Coopers & Lybrand, which has given him a mastery of the accounting and financial issues involved in these cases, which is essential for defending clients’ interests in complex situations.

He is also recognised for his expertise in defending chartered accountants and auditors before civil, disciplinary and criminal courts and before the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority) when their liability is called into question. He is the author of the reference manual on this subject: “Responsabilité des commissaires aux comptes et des experts-comptables” (Liability of Auditors and Chartered Accountants), published by Dalloz. He writes several columns on this topic in legal and professional journals and regularly acts as a trainer for accounting professionals. In addition to legal defence, he assists accountants and auditors when they encounter difficulties in the performance of their duties.
