WE (also) work in english.

Lex-Part Lawyers advise and represent companies in labour law, business law, and new technologies law.

IT/Data Law

We assist our clients in analyzing and managing their technological and IT-related risks and disputes.

GDPR / DPO

At Lex-Part Avocats, we transform GDPR compliance into a strategic advantage. Our legal and technical specialists design data-governance frameworks that are pragmatic, secure and tailored to real-world operations.

We conduct focused audits—HR, IT or enterprise-wide—map data flows, gauge risks and deliver actionable remediation plans. Our team drafts registers, privacy notices, contracts and IT charters, performs high-risk DPIAs and negotiates processor clauses.

Acting as outsourced DPO, we liaise with the CNIL, ensure continuous compliance and brief leadership. We also upskill internal stakeholders through targeted training, immersive workshops and role-based awareness campaigns, while defending your interests in disputes.

From the initial roadmap to ongoing monitoring, Lex-Part provides the complete GDPR toolkit to safeguard and unlock the value of your data.

IT Contracts and Projects

Lex-Part Avocats orchestrates IT projects and contracts from cloud integration to SaaS licensing.

We draft and negotiate integration, migration, maintenance, outsourcing, pentest and support agreements, embedding watertight SLA, reversibility, IP and confidentiality clauses.

Our legal-design mindset translates technical architecture into clear, agile-friendly terms, mapping road-maps, milestones and acceptance tests. We steer project governance, manage overruns and incidents, and supervise system redesigns or ERP/CRM roll-outs, ensuring delivery stays aligned with commercial objectives.

Our team also secures cloud computing, software licences and user terms, protecting value while enabling scalable, resilient IT.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) law

Lex-Part Avocats turns AI ambition into compliant reality. We audit algorithms to classify them as unacceptable, high- or limited-risk, vet generative-AI outputs and map liability chains for automated decisions.

Our lawyers negotiate licences, SaaS and service agreements, data-set transfers and NDAs, ensuring IP rights and GDPR duties stay watertight. We draft ethical charters, embed AI-Act governance and lock down training databases, guiding start-ups and IT teams from MVP to scale—mobile apps, APIs, IoT and beyond.

When CNIL or ANSSI step in, we craft persuasive replies, drive remediation and, if necessary, defend you before civil, administrative or criminal courts—so innovation remains both bold and defensible.

Cybersecurity law

Lex-Part Avocats hardens your cyber-defences before, during and after an incident. We run legal-security audits, draft information-security policies (PSSI, password schemes, BCP/DRP) and tailor ISO 27001- and NIS 2-ready action plans.

Our lawyers structure pentest, SOC and MSSP contracts, and deliver role-based awareness training for CISOs and end-users alike.

When breaches hit—ransomware, data leaks or service outages—we activate crisis playbooks: notify CNIL or ANSSI, liaise with insurers, preserve digital evidence, lodge criminal complaints and manage follow-on litigation.

From preventive governance to rapid incident response, Lex-Part converts cybersecurity law into operational resilience.

ICT & Data regulation

From privacy-by-design to Web3, Lex-Part Avocats turns dense data-tech rules into practical safeguards. We audit projects in health, education, energy, transport, digital and industry, then craft GDPR and e-privacy roadmaps, privacy notices, cookie banners, registers and DPIAs while embedding DPO workflows.

Our team drafts and negotiates T&Cs, SaaS and distribution contracts, reviews specs and acceptance tests, and de-risks cutting-edge ventures—blockchain, IoT, AI, NFTs. We lock down cross-border transfers with BCRs and SCCs, police cybersquatting and online unfair competition, and orchestrate takedowns of harmful content.

Anticipating EU acts—Data Act, DSA, DMA, NIS 2—we keep innovation compliant and reputations intact.

Trademark and Know-How Protection

Lex-Part Avocats turns intangible assets into strategic shields. Our IT/Data team secures and enhances your brands and trade secrets from conception to enforcement.

We perform clearance searches and assess filing opportunities, then handle French and EU trademark applications—word, figurative or composite—alongside renewals and portfolio monitoring.

To ring-fence know-how, we audit proprietary processes, draft bespoke secrecy documentation and record evidence via bailiff deposits or blockchain timestamps.

When rights are threatened, we initiate urgent injunctions, civil or criminal actions, and negotiate coexistence, licensing or assignment agreements that safeguard value while enabling growth.

E-business and domain names

Lex-Part Avocats ensures online commerce runs legally and securely from site conception to crisis recovery.

We audit B2C and B2B platforms—double-click purchase flows, price displays, customer accounts, cookies and GDPR—then draft iron-clad T&Cs, payment clauses and privacy charters that meet the EU E-Commerce Directive.

Our team designs regulatory specifications, runs legal acceptance tests and shapes contracts for development, hosting, maintenance and SLAs.

We also register and police domain names worldwide, conduct UDRP actions and stamp out cybersquatting.

When DGCCRF or CNIL investigations strike, we craft swift replies and compliance plans; if cyber-attacks or data breaches occur, we lead crisis cells, secure digital evidence, lodge criminal complaints and handle breach notifications—protecting your reputation and revenue at every step.

BUSINESS LAW

We advise companies and their executives, and represent them in court, in connection with their civil and commercial activities.

Business law

Lex-Part Avocats shields your business throughout the commercial life-cycle. We craft and update the full suite of agreements—purchase, sale, service, subcontracting, licensing, partnership, framework and export contracts—together with watertight T&Cs, confidentiality and IP clauses, all calibrated to your economic context and regulatory evolution.

Our lawyers audit documentation, structure new ventures and secure cross-border deals via Incoterms, standby letters of credit and first-demand guarantees. When conflicts erupt—breach or termination, hidden defects, unpaid invoices, unfair competition, product liability or director misconduct—we advocate before commercial, civil, administrative and arbitral bodies.

We also steer commercial leases and coordinate multi-jurisdictional litigation with local counsel, delivering agile, business-oriented solutions that protect and power your growth.

Economic law of distribution and competition

Lex-Part Avocats fortifies your entire distribution ecosystem. We architect selective, exclusive or franchised networks, negotiate subcontracting and partnership deals, and craft tailored B2B/B2C terms and conditions for in-store, online, fair or distance sales.

Our lawyers calibrate pricing strategies and commercial practices, drafting or vetting marketing materials to avoid misleading content, and act swiftly before the courts when unfair competition or territorial breaches arise. Independent distributors rely on us to structure agency contracts and enforce exclusive territories, while suppliers entrust us with annual negotiations, bespoke distribution agreements and the delicate termination of commercial ties.

Throughout, we fuse legal precision with pragmatic business insight to secure and enlarge your market reach.

Food law and law governing classified installations (ICPE)

Lex-Part Avocats safeguards food-industry operators and regulated facilities across the entire compliance-to-crisis continuum.

We audit incidents—from consumer claims to regulator injunctions—quantify exposure, review insurance coverage and craft remediation plans.

Clients rely on us to navigate inspections by DDPP, DGCCRF, DSV or DREAL: we draft persuasive responses and negotiate practical compliance roadmaps with in-house experts.

When crises strike, we orchestrate product recalls or licence suspensions and represent you before administrative and criminal courts, including emergency and expert proceedings.

For ICPE sites, we handle neighbourhood-nuisance disputes, contest enforcement orders and overturn adverse decisions, securing business continuity and environmental integrity.

Consumption law

Lex-Part Avocats secures the customer relationship from product launch to dispute resolution. We draft bespoke B2C terms and conditions, user agreements and distance-selling contracts that embed all EU-mandated disclosures, price transparency and withdrawal rights.

When the DGCCRF or consumer associations knock, we analyse inspection letters, craft persuasive responses and defend your company in civil or criminal proceedings, while steering corrective compliance plans to minimise penalties.

Beyond compliance, we help design loyalty programmes and e-reputation strategies that synchronise commercial performance, customer satisfaction and legal security.

Public procurement law

Lex-Part Avocats steers businesses through every stage of French public-procurement procedures. We vet tender notices, craft winning bids and monitor selection criteria for works, supply and service contracts—open, negotiated or adapted.

When a rejection or award is disputed, our team deploys pre-contractual and contractual injunctions, suspension petitions or annulment actions and pursues compensation before administrative judges.

We also analyse execution risks, penalties and insurance cover, drive amicable settlements or CRA mediations, and secure overdue payments.

With legal precision and business insight, we guard your margins and keep public-sector projects on track.

Labour Law

We support employers with their HR issues and projects, both in advisory and litigation matters.

Labour law

The lawyers and specialists of our Firm work with employers both in the context of advice and litigation before the labour courts throughout France (Conseil des prud’hommes, cour d’appel, tribunal des affaires de la sécurité sociale, etc.).

Their activity covers all areas of labor law, both in its individual dimension (employment contracts, hiring, dismissal, etc.) and in its collective dimension (relations with employee representative bodies, collective bargaining, strikes, etc.).

Social security law

The lawyers and specialists of our firm assist companies in specific and sensitive areas, particularly in view of the financial stakes, workplace accidents and occupational diseases.

This branch of law also covers all the company’s relations with URSSAF.

Social protection law

A somewhat unknown field of activity, social protection law has seen rapid development in recent years, particularly since 2016 with the compulsory nature of health coverage schemes (mutual insurance), but also the strong development of collective bargaining at branch and company level in the area of welfare schemes in the broad sense (disability, death, education allowances, etc.).

This branch of law also covers compulsory supplementary pensions and supplementary pension contracts, which have been constantly revised in recent years.

In view of the specialisations of the firm’s lawyers, we can assist you in the management of these files, which generally have a strong social impact on staff.
