Risk management
Communication of information in the context of investigations led by foreign authorities can constitute a risk for companies.
Despite the existence of rules which are aimed at securing data and therefore the economic interests of the State as well as those of French or foreign entities, such as the law n°68-678 of 26 July 1968 (known as the French Blocking Statute) or the Hague Convention of 18 March 1970, their implementation is not always easy.
Your challenges
Processing foreign requests for documents and information while monitoring the risks for the company
Anticipating the risks resulting from foreign requests for documents and information
Before responding to a request, the company should seek an analysis of the legal framework thereof to understand the issues at stake and anticipate the risks.
Handling cooperation with foreign authorities
In the context of international cooperation, the company should be able to assess the impact of the blocking statutes and should care to preserve its data of economic value relating to business secrets, know-how or technologies.
