Principle

to assist either a company or an administrative body in the case of recourse for or against a decision. Regulatory bodies such as a State (France or other), the European Commission (EC), the Conseil de la Concurrence (French competition regulator) or the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (French Financial Markets Authority or AMF) can be concerned.

Our means

• Analysing all findings leading to the existence or absence of a fault committed by the regulatory body while applying its procedures;

• Analysing all facts leading to highlighting an error or omission by the regulatory body;

• Analysing the causal relationship between the fault committed by the regulatory body and the prejudice experienced by the company.

• Assess the resulting prejudice for the company because of this fault by comparing the normal situation (without the regulatory body’s fault) with the present situation (with the regulatory body’s fault) by determining :

• Passed and future additional costs,
• Passed and future loss of revenue
