Féral‘s pre-eminence in both contentious and non-contentious matters sees it advise on technology-related agreements, judicial proceedings and expert appraisals across the internet and media, data privacy and dematerialisation and electronic archiving sectors. IP specialist Richard Willemant and Olivia Luzi, who was a new arrival following the firm's merger with Luzi Avocats, lead the practice. Experienced mediators Bruno Grégoire Sainte Marie and Christiane Féral-Schuhl are both experts in IP and IT law. Olivier De Courcel is another name to note.
