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...
