\"\"Lawyers at Vey & Associ\u00e9s exchange views with the teams at Schillings on the structural differences between the French and English approaches to criminal procedure and complex disputes.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

These expert discussions highlighted a point that while both systems pursue justice, the procedural frameworks underlying civil law and common law traditions differ profoundly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her are some key distinctions:<\/p>\n

\u25aa\ufe0f Role of the judge: active in the French system, more referee-like in the English system
\n\u25aa\ufe0f Evidence gathering: led by the investigating magistrate in France, party-driven in England
\n\u25aa\ufe0f Trial format: predominance of the written dossier versus oral advocacy and cross-examination
\n\u25aa\ufe0f Victims : the unique French mechanism allowing victims to join criminal proceedings directly<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These differences are not only theoretical \u2014 they directly shape defence strategies, cross-border investigations, and coordination between counsel in high-stakes matters.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This work between practitioners from different legal traditions is essential in today\u2019s increasingly international disputes environment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many thanks to the Schillings teams for the quality of these discussions.<\/p>\n
