Whitepeak Law defends companies and executives in sanction proceedings before French financial and gambling regulators: AMF, ACPR and ANJ. From notice response through to hearing before sanction commissions.
Defence in AMF sanction procedures: response to investigation notices, management of examination proceedings, preparation of written submissions and representation before the AMF Enforcement Committee.
Defence in ACPR sanction procedures: response to inspection findings, management of formal investigation procedures and representation before the ACPR Sanctions Committee.
Defence in ANJ sanction and investigation procedures: response to notices, management of investigation findings and representation before ANJ sanction bodies.
Analysis of regulatory risk exposure before proceedings are initiated: compliance review, identification of vulnerabilities and implementation of corrective measures to mitigate sanction risk.
Regulated entities facing AMF, ACPR or ANJ investigations: management of regulatory dialogue, response to requests and defence strategy.
Directors and executives personally named in regulatory proceedings: individual defence strategy, separation of personal and corporate defence where appropriate.
Regulated entities that have identified compliance gaps: assessment of sanction risk, voluntary disclosure strategy and preventive corrective measures.
Companies challenging regulatory sanction decisions before the Paris Court of Appeal or Council of State: grounds analysis, appeal preparation and representation.
Effective defence in regulatory sanction proceedings requires mastering both the substantive regulatory framework and the procedural rules of the sanction procedure. Whitepeak Law combines both.
The earlier defence counsel is involved, the better the outcome. Early involvement in investigations allows shaping the regulatory dialogue before formal proceedings begin.
Not every regulatory finding requires the same response. Whitepeak Law analyses each situation to determine the most appropriate strategy: cooperation, negotiation or adversarial defence.
Confidential first exchange to assess the regulatory situation, analyse the available options and define the best defence strategy.
