CGR Avocats is committed to working with you, for you, and in line with the demands of our time.

Governance

Our law firm is structured in such a way as to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the various governance bodies, thereby ensuring total transparency and shared approval of strategic directions by all levels of management.

To encourage the involvement of all members of the firm, we have set up several committees. These structures contribute to a better understanding of issues at stake and ensure constant communication between partners, associates and support functions.

This organisational structure reflects our ongoing commitment to shared vigilance and gender equality. Our success in these areas is reinforced by the fact that a woman has been a managing partner since the firm was founded, underlining our commitment to greater parity.

Compliance

Effective management of conflicts of interest is at the heart of our client relationships. We apply strict and systematic procedures, established several years ago, to prevent any potential conflict, whether ethical or commercial, with our new or existing clients.

We also ensure regulatory compliance through robust internal processes and the commitment of our specialist data protection teams.

In addition, our lawyers are required to take extra care and be particularly vigilant in the prevention of money laundering. To this end, we provide regular in-house training on these critical issues.

Environment

Our firm is actively committed to reducing our environmental impact, a key component of our sustainable development strategy. Despite the low environmental risk associated with the legal advisory business, we have set ambitious goals for energy efficiency and environmental performance.

We have equipped 100% of our printers with a secure printing system to minimise unrecovered printouts. A print reduction policy has been implemented and is the subject of regular internal communications, with periodic evaluations to ensure that these targets are met.

To reduce our waste production, we have put in place recycling initiatives to sort and recycle plastics, glass, paper and ink cartridges.

Societal

Our firm is deeply committed to social initiatives, collaborating with various associations to enable our lawyers and staff to contribute to social projects, thereby strengthening our collective commitment.

Several of our lawyers also teach at colleges and universities, playing an active role in the training of future talent and the promotion of our profession.

In addition, our firm is involved in the public sphere and contributes to the dynamism of the legal profession by actively participating in professional organisations, both nationally and internationally, helping to shape the future of law and legal practice worldwide.

Employer brand

Our firm actively values its commitment to its teams by promoting a socially responsible working environment. We are dedicated to developing skills, improving well-being at work and successfully integrating new talent.

To ensure a smooth transition, we have developed a personalised orientation process for all new arrivals, whether they are trainees, associates or employees. This process begins with an individual welcome by a member of our human resources team, followed by a period of support with their team and the partners, ensuring an effective and successful integration into our firm.
