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

Our practice combines deep regulatory insight with strong litigation capability, offering clients strategic guidance and robust defence in a fast-evolving environment. Whether managing compliance obligations or responding to investigations, we help financial institutions stay one step ahead.

We support clients in:
● Licensing, governance, and compliance requirements for banks, insurers, and investment firms
● Regulatory audits and inspections, including AML/FT compliance, MiFID II, Solvency II, and DORA
● Intermediation frameworks in banking, insurance, and crowdfunding
● Relations with French and European regulators (ACPR, AMF, ESMA, CNIL)
● Advisory and disputes involving collective investment schemes, credit derivatives, ratings, syndication, and enforcement of guarantees
● Internal investigations, regulatory reporting, and proceedings before supervisory authorities

Our cross-practice approach means we work closely with our corporate, tax, and dispute resolution teams to advise on financial transactions, restructuring, and litigation involving regulated entities. Clients value our ability to combine clarity, technical strength, and discretion in matters requiring careful strategic coordination.
