Legal skills

Digital Law

The firm has developed strong expertise in the dematerialisation of content, tools, and processes. We support our clients across all their dematerialisation and e-commerce projects:

• through our comprehensive range of services, enabling us to provide end-to-end management of the legal issues faced by any business wishing to digitise its client relations (including drafting/reviewing legal notices, Terms of Use/Terms and Conditions, privacy policies, cookie banners, and customer journeys on websites or mobile apps—whether commercial or otherwise—collaborative platforms, file/data-sharing tools, social networks, and both B2B and B2C relationships);
• and by addressing far more specialised and complex issues, such as:
  • securing (fully or partially) the digital subscription processes of insurance companies;
  • assessing the legal value of an “ephemeral” certificate in connection with contractual operations relating to insurance products, whether in-branch or remotely;
  • defining the conditions for implementing the WYSIWYS (“What You See Is What You Sign”) principle;
  • determining the legal validity of a digital signature applied to a life-insurance form, or of a virtual delivery slip signed with a stylus on a tablet;
  • assessing the evidential value of certain dematerialised acts (arbitration, etc.);
  • managing evidence and determining the enforceability of evidence clauses;
  • analysing the concept of online “reposting” of pre-contractual information within the meaning of the Insurance and Communication Codes on a “durable medium” within the meaning of the Consumer Code;
  • e-invoicing;
  • e-archiving;
  • marketing innovative and/or sensitive dematerialisation tools (NFC, online payment systems, digital medical records, etc.);
  • developing mobile apps enabling subscription and arbitration for insurance products, or subscription to and use of specific products/services such as teleconsultation, online coaching, vehicle rental (including digital “ignition keys”), food delivery, second-hand product exchanges, flight-plan drafting for pilots, or internal corporate tools such as equipment or HR management apps.
• by drafting IT and electronic contracts governing processes that enable dematerialised deeds (electronic registered mail, electronic signatures) at national, European, and international levels;
• or by producing electronic evidence (internet reports) in litigation and pre-litigation. In this respect, the firm works with a network of specialised professionals, regularly calling on them to carry out formal evidence-gathering procedures (bailiffs, IT experts).

The firm also works closely with its clients and partners (including NUMEUM and CNEJITA) by providing training on electronic evidence, electronic signatures, e-invoicing, and the legal framework for concluding electronic acts and contracts.
