De Pardieu Brocas Maffei gère un volume important de dossiers en matière d’abus de marché. Le cabinet défend des fonds d’investissement, des entreprises et des particuliers faisant l’objet d’enquêtes de l’AMF concernant des allégations de délit d’initié ou de manipulation de cours. L’équipe défend également des clients poursuivis devant la Commission des Sanctions de l’AMF. Sa grande connaissance des sociétés cotées en bourse lui vaut aussi régulièrement d’être sollicitée pour traiter des questions de gouvernance ou des conflits d’actionnaires. La pratique, dirigée par  Patrick Jaïs, a été renforcée par les recrutements en novembre 2021 d’ Alice Gaillard (of counsel) qui a été auparavant en poste à l’AMF puis auprès du Haut Conseil du commissariat aux comptes (H3C), et d’ Alexandre Vermynck (ex Davis Polk & Wardwell) fin 2022.
