Reinhart Marville Torre > Firm Profile

REINHART MARVILLE TORRE is an independent business law firm with over 65 professionals. Founded in 1990, the firm advises and litigates on behalf of companies and their directors, supporting and advising them on their legal and financial strategies.

Litigation and arbitration /criminal: The litigation team is supported by a tightly-knit, dynamic team of talented lawyers. The team appears before all the courts, administrative authorities (competition authorities, AMF, CSA, etc.) and arbitration panels. The quality and frequency of its work means that its clients benefit from an attentive ear when dealing with these various bodies. Our experience also gives us access to a solid network of correspondents and experts. The team’s involvement is not limited to monitoring litigation. It also strives to anticipate and prevent disputes. In all cases, the lawyers are driven by the desire to propose the most appropriate solution to the situation encountered, whatever the method of settlement.

The criminal department assists the firm’s clients in all the steps and procedures they need to take to defend themselves or to sue for damages. If our clients are victims of a criminal offence, the firm advises them on a strategy to support the prosecution and, where appropriate, obtain compensation for the loss suffered.

Corporate: The corporate team assists the general and legal management of companies and their financial partners. It regularly advises on complex development and restructuring transactions with strategic implications for companies: mergers & acquisitions, corporate law, private equity, capital markets, companies in difficulty and settling shareholder disputes.

Tax: The tax team helps French and foreign companies in industry, real estate, new technologies, pharmaceuticals and services to resolve complex transactions, both on an advisory and a litigation basis. It also works with private equity players throughout the investment cycle, from structuring the deal to putting in place or unwinding the management package.

Real estate: The real estate and town planning team advises and litigates on behalf of private and public individuals and companies: developers, investors, users (French and foreign industrial groups, major international retailers).
From project design through to implementation and dispute resolution, we provide specific support at every stage, taking into account the legal constraints specific to each discipline and the tax optimisation of the structures put in place.

Employment: The employment team assists French and international companies and their directors in all areas of employment law. In a field where advice and defence have become inseparable functions, the team draws on this dual expertise to provide an integrated, responsive and effective approach. It strives to provide pragmatic and rigorous solutions, with an emphasis on preventing disputes.

Public: The public business law team advises and litigates on behalf of national and local public bodies and their private industrial and financial partners. It covers all areas of public business law, with expertise based on solid experience of the legal issues in the sector: complex regulatory framework and case law, specific features of public project financing methods and particular contract award procedures.

Product liability/professional and industrial risks: The product liability/professional and industrial risks team offers cutting-edge expertise in the field of industrial risks, defective products, regulatory and compliance matters, as well as issues arising from accidents in the workplace, occupational illnesses and the management of insurance litigation. The team is involved in crisis management and investigation from the outset of an incident, and also defends the interests of its clients – corporate entities and managers – in criminal and civil litigation, including before specialist courts and during technical and medical expert appraisals.
