The 'technically and tactically strong' team at MOLITOR Avocats à la Cour SARL provides 'strategic and value added advice' to asset management and banking clients, in particular, across a wide array of litigation, including many involving multi-jurisdictional issues. The 'very authoritative and creative' Paulo Lopes Da Silva is key to the success of many of these cases and has 'an excellent courtroom presence', which he utilises to very good effect, including in disputes involving GPs and institutional investors, shareholder litigation, as well as professional negligence cases, particularly as part of insolvency proceedings. Michel Molitor co-heads the team alongside Da Silva and as well as being skilled at handling civil and criminal litigation, is also well-versed at advising on regulatory matters, including on matters which involve dual-track regulatory and litigation proceedings. The 'knowledgeable and responsive' Armel Waisse and the 'very astute' Philippe Thiebaud are also recommended.
