Evidence Gathering Abroad

Identify, Collect, Demonstrate: A Key Step in Building Your Case

A decisive step

Before any legal action is taken, the evidence-gathering phase is essential. It allows us to consolidate the legal basis for a claim and maximize the chances of compensation.

Le Tutour Avocats attaches paramount importance to this phase, whether it concerns medical liability, mass accidents, defective products, or international conflicts.

We identify the evidence needed to prove fault, damage, and causation, or, in no-fault systems, the technical elements needed to have the damage recognized.

We implement judicial and extrajudicial procedures to obtain the documents or expert opinions essential to your case.

This includes:

  • Preventive or investigative summary proceedings in France,
  • Requests based on the Hague Convention for obtaining evidence abroad,
  • The use of French blocking legislation to protect the rights of French citizens facing the transfer of information outside the European Union.

In transnational matters, the firm works with local correspondents to ensure optimal efficiency in accessing evidence located abroad.

A strategy based on expertise and foresight

Each case is carefully examined in order to define an appropriate evidentiary strategy: consulting an expert, seizing documents, conducting hearings, or reconstructing the facts.

This rigorous approach allows us to build a solid case based on tangible evidence in the client’s best interests.

Whether in the context of medical litigation, an accident abroad, or a class action, the search for evidence is at the heart of our method.
