The firm acts in press and internet law, a field governed by the Act of 29 July 1881 on the freedom of the press.

In this context, we offer our clients a personalized handling of their cases, taking into account their profile, their possible notoriety, and their needs.

The firm helps its clients resolve issues from defamation statements made in websites, including internet chatrooms, emails, newspaper and magazine articles, television and radio broadcasts, as well as in advertising material.

This is a field governed by form, and the initial pleading is decisive. Prosecution is time-barred after three months under Article 65 of the Act of 29 July 1881, a period extended to one year for the offenses listed in Article 65-3. The complaint or summons must further set out and legally characterize each of the statements complained of, failing which it is void.
