• Cybersecurity
• Fight against illicit markets and organized crime
• Support for litigation and arbitration
• Business development
• M&A Intelligence
• Business ethics and compliance
• Public relations

Our Missions:

• To feed strategic thinking

Services dedicated to digital, economic, and informational risks. Our mission is to reduce the risks to which executives, companies, and institutions are exposed, support their strategic thinking, and strengthen their strategic positions.

We assist our clients locally and internationally:

• In managing sensitive matters (negotiations, litigation, restructurings...)
• During growth operations (M&A, international establishment, major projects, governance changes...)
• When building a strategic positioning (communication, public affairs, digital...)
• In mastering their cyber risks and responding to attacks targeting all critical systems
• In the event of a crisis or manifest hostility (fraud, major lawsuits, counterfeiting, hacking, data leaks...)

B Corp™ Certification: Combining Performance and Positive Impact

Becoming a "Société à Mission" was a natural evolution for a group where the Compliance & Investigation teams fight against fraud and corruption, where Cyber engineers protect vital operators, and where Public Affairs and Strategic Communication specialists fight against acts of hostility or unfair competition.
