Expertise at the service of public and private actors
Public criminal law covers the protection of the integrity of public life, compliance with land use planning rules and the preservation of the environment. Cornet Vincent Ségurel defends elected officials, public servants, local authorities, professionals and individuals in these sensitive areas.
Our areas of expertise
Breaches of integrity and public procurement
We defend elected officials and public servants accused of illegal taking of interest, favouritism, embezzlement of public funds, corruption or influence peddling. We also act in criminal litigation relating to public procurement, both for public actors and economic operators.
We also assist elected officials and public servants who are victims of violence, threats or insults in the course of their duties.
Criminal law relating to urban planning
The firm regularly represents local authorities in seeking penalties for breaches of urban planning regulations, and defends professionals in the fields of development and construction, as well as individuals who are prosecuted.
Criminal law relating to the environment
We defend professionals – developers, builders, farmers, fishermen – and individuals accused of offences related to the protection of natural environments, waste management, pollution or the preservation of biodiversity.
Advice and defence
Beyond litigation, we provide advice to secure your projects upstream and identify the risks of criminal prosecution.
We also offer consulting and training services tailored to the specific needs of our clients: training elected officials on the risks of breaches of integrity, assisting local authorities in implementing strategies to crack down on urban planning offences, raising awareness among teams of the challenges of public criminal law, etc.
We defend you at all stages of the proceedings, from the investigation to the appeal courts, taking into account reputational and institutional issues.
