How can I protect myself legally from an online investment fraud?

In cases of online or investment fraud (Cybercrime), the immediate collection of digital evidence and the filing of a criminal complaint in a technically substantiated manner are required. The dual capacity of a lawyer-engineer makes it possible to identify security gaps and to seek damages, particularly in cases involving the liability of banking institutions.

What risks does legal due diligence prevent when buying real estate?

Thorough legal due diligence by a specialised real estate lawyer prevents the purchase of properties subject to encumbrances (mortgages, seizures), town-planning violations or claims by third parties and the State, ensuring that your investment is legally protected.

When is the filing of an administrative appeal required in Administrative Law?

The administrative appeal is a necessary stage prior to recourse before the Administrative Courts for many acts of the administration (such as tax fines or town-planning decisions). Its timely and proper legal drafting is decisive for the annulment of the adverse administrative act.

What are the conditions for a petition to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR)?

For a petition to the ECHR to be admissible, all domestic legal remedies must have been exhausted (a final judgment from Areios Pagos or the Council of State) and it must be filed within the strict 4-month time limit from the last national decision, focusing on a violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.
