Julian Christen Coat and Claire de Haut de Sigy launch new firm Coat Haut de Sigy that is dedicated to white collar crime, regulatory litigation and compliance.
After working together for almost ten years at Beaussier & Associés, then White & Case in the white-collar crime and regulatory team, Julian Christen Coat and Claire de Haut de Sigy decided to establish their own boutique firm. “Our USP is to offer a complete, independent and multi-disciplinary offering: everything from business litigation to compliance. Our firm will also continue to develop expertise in civil and commercial litigation,” explained Claire de Haut de Sigy.
The firm’s clientele essentially consists of banks and financial institutions, but also French and international companies (listed or not), as well as their directors and shareholders.
The partners regularly take on cases relating to money laundering, payment fraud, corruption, and tax evasion. They also have recognized expertise in regulatory disputes (AMF, ACPR, SICCFIN) and foreign authority investigations (U.S. DOJ, OFAC, FED, DFS).
The firm also has clients that wish to mitigate litigation risks. They assist them in delegation of authorities, defining risk maps, or implementing internal procedures (Sapin II Law of November 3, 2014).
“To meet our clients’ needs, we launched a hotline system so that we can respond to urgent legal matters,” says Julian Christen Coat.
