Vey & Associés

We are a team of specialist lawyers who work closely together to provide our clients with the strongest possible defence.

 

We guarantee our clients complete availability, a high degree of responsiveness, and total commitment to understanding and addressing the challenges they face. To that end, we deliberately take on a limited number of cases, allowing us to devote our full attention and resources to each matter.

 

Alongside teamwork, we have made two defining choices : independence and a high degree of specialisation.

 

Our firm is fully independent, enabling us to make clear and swift decisions, both in the clients we represent and in the way we approach each engagement. We believe that every defence strategy is unique and must be tailored to each client’s identity, resources and objectives.

 

Over the past fifteen years, our specialisation has led us to appear before almost every criminal court and jurisdiction in France and to act in many of the country’s most significant criminal cases. Our expertise extends well beyond courtroom criminal defence. Through our work on complex and high-profile matters, we have developed extensive experience in managing the human, reputational and economic issues that inevitably arise in connection with legal proceedings.

 

Our team has also become increasingly international. It brings together lawyers of nearly ten nationalities across our three offices in Paris, Nice and Geneva.

 

We have developed particular expertise in matters involving international law, especially in the representation of States, major corporations and high-profile individuals. Our work encompasses international conflicts, including war crimes and politically sensitive disputes, as well as extradition law, international sanctions and Interpol notices. Our team has also acted in several major cases of international significance involving human rights and the protection of freedom of expression.

 

We have represented clients throughout the French-speaking world and across more than fifty jurisdictions. Our role has included assembling and coordinating international defence teams, as well as working alongside local counsel to provide strategic support and high-level expertise.

 

We defend our clients with passion, unwavering commitment and a determination, in every case, to achieve the best possible outcome.
