Point of view Martine Samuelian
To understand current banking and stock market regulations requires, in my view, knowledge of their history as well as an ability to anticipate their future development. Over the last 25 years we have advised many foreign and domestic banks and financial institutions who have been our clients during periods of boom as well as during stock market and/or financial crises. All this experience has sharpened my analysis of the application of the regulations and professional requirements in this area. We have daily contact with our clients; we speak their language and understand the technical aspects of their business. This knowledge allows us to provide value-added advice and to defend them more effectively against enforcement or disciplinary actions. JeantetAssocies now has a banking and stock market practice which is recognized for its size and the quality of its lawyers, and which offers our clients the expertise, creativity and responsiveness necessary to gain a strategic view of the matters which we handle."
