The copyright team at August Debouzy has a fully comprehensive offering for its clients that is seamlessly integrated within the rest of the firm’s core practice areas, including antitrust, technology, and media. The team sedulously handles both contentious and non-contentious work, and is a frequent player before civil and criminal French courts, as well as the competition commission acting for clients on complex matters. Mahasti Razavi and Basile Ader lead the team, and their capacities extend across licence agreement negotiation, pre-litigation mediation, infringement seizures, and compliance audits. Supporting the team is also Pierre Pérot, a seasoned pan-European litigator, as well as Amélie Tripet, who has a flair for the copyright issues concerning the press, libel issues, and publishing.
