In September 2024, the ‘technical team’ at Antonin Lévy & Associés A.A.R.P.I. moved to Paul Hastings LLP, strengthening its expertise in matters concerning white-collar crime, compliance and investigations, particularly those carried out by multilateral development banks. The practice is well placed to conduct audits of compliance programmes, in addition to representing clients in French anti-corruption audits and internal investigations involving corruption and ethics-related issues. Key contacts in the group include Antonin Lévy, who maintains a track record in handling tax fraud, money laundering, anti-corruption and international sanctions mandates, white-collar crime expert Ophélia Claude and Joris Monin de Flaugergues, who specialises in internal investigations.
