Industrial Risks

GUTKÈS Avocats has extensive experience in criminal proceedings related to industrial risks.

The Firm defends several French companies and foreign companies being prosecuted in France for industrial accidents.

It also provides personal defence of their officers and directors, criminally implicated in these accidents.

GUTKÈS Avocats notably ensured the defence of the former President of Gaz de France in the case called "grey irons" (“Fontes grises”).

The Firm was also required to intervene in the defence of its clients after factory explosions, oil spills, elevator accidents and industrial accidents with machines of any type, causing both material damage and physical injuries to individuals.

In these cases, the Firm works closely with technical experts.

It supports its clients through all stages of the procedure: providing legal expertise in the preliminary investigation and then before trial courts.
