Emeric Desnoix - Avocat & Formateur

Origin of the LAF / LAB area of expertise

In February 2014, Emeric DESNOIX took part in his ‘first’ Anti-Fraud Colloquium, to discuss and comment on the rulings handed down at the end of 2012 by the Cour de cassation and the Cour d'appel de PARIS, which recognised and framed the right for Insurers to use Private Investigation Agents. Following this event, some insurers began to commission him to assist them in determining useful STRATEGIES to combat insurance fraud.

Current status of LAF/LAB expertise

The thousands of cases handled by the firm over the past decade have mainly been ‘routine’ cases involving low stakes; however, more and more complex cases are being referred to Emeric DESNOIX (major financial stakes / mass fraud), which has led him to initiate innovative strategies in this area, in close collaboration with the official authorities.
By immersing himself in the ecosystem of anti-fraud and anti-money laundering, Emeric DESNOIX has developed an experience that is now recognised as one of the leading national firms in the field.
We now cover ALL areas of the insurance business: PROPERTY & LIABILITY, BODILY INJURY, HEALTH, PROVIDENT, LIFE, SAVINGS, CONSTRUCTION, LEGAL PROTECTION...
A partner trainer of theAgence de Lutte contre la Fraude à l'Assurance ("ALFA" ) since 2022, Emeric DESNOIX has earned the trust of more than SIXTY Insurance Companies, Management Centres and Mutual Insurance Companies and their LAF-LAB units.

LAF/LAB activity objectives

Emeric DESNOIX's expertise andunique yet innovativeapproach have led him to take part in national events (ALFA annual day, ARGUS DE L'ASSURANCE annual symposium, etc.) and international ones (e.g. Global Insurance Fraud Summit 2023 organized in Edinburgh by the American organization Coalition against Insurance Fraud, IASIU 2024 European Seminar & Expo on Insurance Fraud in Rome).
Emeric DESNOIX's aim is to help (re)raise awareness of anti-fraud and anti-money laundering issues beyond the world of insurers and mutual insurers, and to participate in national and supra-national working groups committed to educating people on the subject and advancing the cause of victims in this field.
