DL Avocats

DL AVOCATS advises French and international CAC 40, mid-sized and/or small-sized companies, as well as their executives, on the prevention, management and resolution of disputes related to compliance and internal investigations, corporate criminal law, cybersecurity and cybercrime and commercial and financial litigation. 

BACKGROUND AND COMPARATIVE 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 understood, analyzed and taken into account. The legal expertise of a lawyer alone is therefore not enough to meet the needs of corporate clients.

Daphné LATOUR acquired a deep knowledge of corporate issues while studying at EDHEC Business School, but also - and above 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. Therefore, she perfectly understands their concrete needs and operational constraints.

Since then, by setting up and running her own business single-handedly, she has also continued to develop her understanding of the requirements involved in running a business. 

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

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

Moreover, when you deal with DL AVOCATS, you can be assured that your case will be handled entirely by Daphné LATOUR. You are therefore not paying for a brand name, but for exceptional expertise and know-how, built and refined over the past 20 years.

• THE NEED FOR VALUE FOR MONEY IN A CHALLENGING ECONOMIC CLIMATE

The current tense and difficult economic environment obliges companies to optimize their resource allocation and look for the best option at the best price. A firm on a human scale, such as DL AVOCATS, is particularly well-suited, as it is not burdened by excessive fixed infrastructure costs and can therefore offer you the best service at the fairest price.

VALUES

Daphné LATOUR advocates a modern, pragmatic and utilitarian approach to the law and the associated soft law instruments, viewing them as facilitators of a company's economic development and as mechanisms for optimising its ethical and social commitment, thereby ensuring a flawless brand image. 

She, therefore, values the following:

• Excellence
• Tenacity
• Technological, strategic and operational innovation
• Integrity and transparency
• Inclusivity

And she brings to her clients, legal entities as individuals, the following qualities:

• Extreme professional rigour 
• Attention to detail
• Availabilty
• Responsiveness
