    and product liability



The risks associated with industrial activity are multiple: they may include damages to property or loss of gains, as well as personal injury or various damages caused to the users of products or to third parties…Industrial risks and product liability raise therefore fundamental concerns for economic actors: they can disrupt their activity and have a detrimental impact on business; they can also give rise to high financial exposure, which may trigger, insofar as insurance companies are involved, the payment of insurance benefits.

Drawing on the long-term experience he has acquired in this technical and complex field, Arnaud Dizier has developed specific knowledge and skills in this area of practice, which he created and he has consistently led since the firm was founded.

The firm thus assists major actors operating in this sector, including manufacturers, suppliers, designers, service providers, industry operators, sub-contractors,… as well as insurance companies and brokers, and collaborates closely with the technical experts whom they are appointing.

Whether they relate to products intended for industrial use, to consumer goods, to the design, building and operation of industrial installations, to the provision of services or to product recalls, the matters that the firm handles involve per se complex technical, legal, economic and insurance issues.

Arnaud Dizier has been focusing since about 25 years on these specific areas, with an emphasis on electronic engineering, electronics, fires, explosions, chemistry, metalworking industry, railways, complex installations and product recalls, as well as in the field of large-scale accidents and disasters, in which the firm has developed a strong expertise.

Based on its technical and legal analysis, the firm is in a position to advise efficiently its clients with respect to the risks they are facing before any lawsuit is filed.

The firm analyzes the various legal grounds on which the client may incur liability and reviews compliance issues with applicable statutes or regulations, as well as insurance issues in relation to the insurance policies and coverage entered into.

At the litigation stage, the firm provides advice and assistance to its clients within the framework of expert proceedings, whether ordered by court or carried out amicably, in order to determine and apply the best strategy.

All means are used with professionalism in order to ensure an efficient defense not only in the course of summary proceedings, in the context of crisis management following an accident or a disaster, or in case of product recalls, but also before civil, administrative and arbitration courts.

Responsiveness, Pragmatism, coordination between different actors, involvement and focus on quality and thoroughness of the work performed in each case are the key words of our team, which is able to work in English as well as in German.

Since 2011, Arnaud Dizier has been continuously ranked by the Magazine DECIDEURS among the best French lawyers in the practice areas « liability and industrial risks », « product liability » and « insurance law ».
