Vivien & Associés advises banks, investment service providers, insurance companies, and fintechs on the legal and regulatory frameworks governing their operations in France and across the European Union.

Our practice combines in-depth regulatory expertise with strong litigation capability, offering strategic guidance and solid defence in an increasingly complex financial environment. Whether managing compliance obligations or responding to investigations, we help financial institutions stay ahead of regulatory challenges.

We assist clients with licensing, governance, and compliance requirements for banks, insurers, and investment firms. Our team handles regulatory audits and inspections related to AML/FT compliance, MiFID II, Solvency II, and DORA, as well as intermediation frameworks in banking, insurance, and crowdfunding. We also advise on relations with French and European regulators such as the ACPR, AMF, ESMA, and CNIL.

Vivien & Associés represents clients in advisory and contentious matters involving collective investment schemes, credit derivatives, ratings, syndications, and the enforcement of guarantees. We also support internal investigations, regulatory reporting, and proceedings before supervisory authorities.

Thanks to our cross-practice approach, we work closely with our corporate, tax, and dispute resolution teams to advise on financial transactions, restructuring, and litigation involving regulated entities. Clients appreciate our clarity, technical precision, and discretion in matters demanding strategic coordination.
