Jean-Cédric Michel

Attorney at Law, Partner, MLaw

Litigation as an art

About

Brainstorms, research, strategy and a razor-sharp writing style – Jean-Cédric Michel and his team take a direct rhetorical approach to the law. A man for high stakes and policy matters, he has represented clients before the Federal Tribunal more than fifty times, and obtained numerous favorable decisions in areas as varied as sports law, forfeiture, bond liability, attachments and non-competition clauses. A specialist in financial litigation, Jean-Cédric Michel obtained in Ireland the first settlement with a major bank for its liability as custodian of a Madoff fund. He has appeared before the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the European Court of Human Rights – where he has achieved two landmark victories against UN Security Council sanction regimes.
