OUR LAW FIRM
Founded in 1996 by Jean-Marc Fédida, the firm has been since dedicated to criminal defense. With experience before all criminal courts, in France and abroad, the firm very early invested in the various areas of business life and economic repressive law.
As those issues involve the protection of its clients’ reputation, the firm has also developed its expertise in the press, media, and internet law (defamation, insult, infringement of the presumption of innocence, right to one’s image).
The firm thus offers close and daily support to its clients, solutions with regards to crisis management, but also the implementation of innovative strategies and frameworks, upstream of any litigation, to identify legal risks and help legal entities and their managers comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
With a bilingual and dynamic team, Fédida Avocats has invested in the defense of both individuals and legal entities in transnational and multi-jurisdictional proceedings involving civil, commercial, and criminal litigation.
Fédida Avocats is experienced in complex judicial cases, consultancy, negotiated justice, as well as in the specificities of advocating before regulators and independent administrative authorities. Therefore, the firm offers a unique approach in litigation with high economic, financial, and human stakes.
