Complex litigation

The specialized inter-regional jurisdictions (JIRS) are competent to handle complex and serious cases related to organized crime or large-scale economic and financial offenses.

There are only 8 of them in France (Nancy, Bordeaux, Rennes, Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Lille, Fort-de-France).

Oreste regularly represents clients, both French and foreign, before the JIRS in Nancy.

When a person present on French territory is sought by another state, or conversely when France seeks an individual located abroad, a european arrest warrant or an international extradition procedure may be initiated.

Depending on societal issues, the individuals involved, or the nature of the facts, certain cases receive significant media exposure.

This exposure constitutes an additional ordeal and difficulty for the individuals concerned.

Preserving and defending their interests in this context always requires an individualized analysis to develop a media strategy.

While participating in this media coverage can sometimes prove opportune to make the defense’s voice heard, it is not a general rule, and silence also has its virtues.

In each case, it is necessary to verify the regularity of the procedure.

When an irregularity is found, this can lead to the total or partial annulment of the proceedings and, in some cases, to the release of the person prosecuted or the abandonment of charges.

Criminal proceedings are particularly amenable to this examination due to the significant number of special investigative techniques employed.
