The last decades have seen an increasing number of regulations aiming at framing the practices of professionals towards consumers. Consumer law has thus become an essential field of law that economic actors must inevitably take into account in their commercial thinking and strategies relating to B to C relationships.

The firm assists its clients to better understand and apply these rules in a way that is both pragmatic and in line with the reality of their operational constraints.
