Crisis Management and Regulatory Compliance Support
Cornet Vincent Ségurel assists companies – from SMEs to large groups – and their executives when they face sensitive situations that may expose them to liability or disrupt their organisation.
We intervene in the context of inspections and investigations conducted by administrative or judicial authorities, including the DGCCRF, labour inspectorate, tax authorities, Competition Authority, criminal investigations, or interventions by a judicial officer. Our approach is based on rigorous risk anticipation and operational support at every stage of a crisis.
Audit and Securing Internal Processes
We help clients evaluate and update their internal procedures to strengthen their responsiveness in the event of an inspection or potential liability. This audit allows companies to formalise clear, adaptable processes aligned with organisational constraints.
Emergency Response and Immediate Assistance
In critical situations, rapid action is essential. The firm provides a dedicated emergency hotline to reach a lawyer at any time, particularly in cases of:
-
Detention or questioning by authorities,
-
Administrative inspection or search,
-
Workplace accidents.
Our crisis-trained lawyers provide immediate advice and organise support within hours of the call, anywhere in France, thanks to the firm’s nationwide presence.
Preparation for Hearings and Interaction with Investigators
Initial interviews often determine the direction of a proceeding. We support executives and employees during hearings and conduct realistic simulation sessions replicating the conditions of administrative or judicial interviews.
These simulations include:
-
Development of a probable question list,
-
Full role-play scenario,
-
Summary document with prepared responses and recommended reflexes.
Where necessary, we also work in partnership with a security expert, former member of RAID, specialising in interrogation techniques.
We further assist in managing communications with investigators, particularly regarding document requests, to ensure secure and controlled transmission of sensitive information.
Crisis Management Training
We offer dedicated training programs for in-house legal teams and employees covering:
-
Immediate actions in a crisis,
-
Powers of regulatory authorities,
-
Conduct during interviews or detention,
-
Strategic document management.
