The firm handles white collar, commercial and regulatory litigation. <\/p>\n<p>Costanza, Arthur and Claire support their clients at every stage of a dispute: from preventing legal risks and defending their interests through to enforcing court decisions and remediation. <br \/>Because the three partners&#8217; practices complement each other, they can address every aspect of each matter. Alongside court proceedings, Orbe Avocats also helps clients handle the sensitive situations they may face, such as parliamentary committees of inquiry or media crises.  <\/p>\n<p>Orbe Avocats assists banking and financial institutions, telecommunications, distribution, digital, and industrial sector players, among others. <\/p>\n<p>When its clients face international issues, Orbe Avocats relies on a network of colleagues abroad, particularly in continental Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States.<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"orbe-adn-block_471f9182e70be02e7ee16301f6aa4da3\" class=\"orbe-adn\" data-orbe-adn>\n\t<div class=\"orbe-adn__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"orbe-adn__title\">Our DNA<\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"orbe-adn__intro\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Committed to offering a 360\u00b0 support to their clients, Orbe Avocats steps in before a litigation risk arises, assists the clients if it materializes, and continues until it is under control. This continuity gives the firm a full view of each matter, so it can anticipate how the matter will develop and adjust its strategy as the stakes become
