DL Avocats

HISTORY AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES 

Daphné LATOUR’s idea to open her own private law firm, DL Avocats, resulted from three observations:

• THE NEED FOR COMPANIES TO BE COUNSELED BY SOMEONE WITH A REAL KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS

Concrete needs of companies are rarely well understood by traditional lawyers who have not benefited from experience working within a company, where the dynamic business needs, decision processes - sometimes complex and lengthy - as well as the internal culture, are specific parameters that must be considered. The legal expertise of a lawyer alone is not enough to meet the needs of corporate clients.

Daphné LATOUR acquired a deep knowledge of corporate issues while studying at EDHEC Business School and most of all through her own work experience in the business community. She learned to think as her clients do when she first worked, during several years, in an investment bank and then in a CAC 40 company. She, therefore, understands today perfectly their concrete needs and operational constraints.

As she has now opened her own private law firm, she continues to learn how a company has to be driven, a truly valuable asset for her clients.

• THE VALUE OF FLEXIBILITY, REACTIVITY, AVAILABILITY AND OF CUSTOMISED OFFERS

In an uncertain and constantly evolving economic world such as ours, it is more and more essential to be flexible, agile and reactive, which is more achievable in a small structure where decision making and engagement processes are direct and fast. 

Moreover, when you deal with DL AVOCATS, you can rest assured that your case will be treated by Daphné LATOUR from start to finish, without any delegation to junior lawyers. You are not paying for a brand or a potentially empty reputation but for a the work of Daphné LATOUR, a lawyer with over thirteen years of experience and know-how who will use her expertise to carefully analyze and work on each aspect of your case in order to achieve the optimized solution.

• THE NEED FOR A GOOD PRICE IN A COMPLICATED ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The current tense and difficult economic environment obliges companies to optimize their resource allocation and look for the best option at the best price. As DL AVOCATS has no overhead costs, it is able to offer the best quality work in a cost-effective manner.
