Gide a une longue expérience du commerce international. Nous conseillons les Etats et les plus grandes entreprises en matière de lutte contre la concurrence déloyale, d’accès au marché et dans le cadre des procédures devant l’OMC.
Gide a une compétence reconnue dans les procédures de droit économique qui permettent de lutter contre les pratiques déloyales au niveau international : dumping ou subventions publiques.
Nous agissons principalement pour les entreprises européennes qui souhaitent déposer plainte contre des pratiques déloyales des concurrents de pays tiers ou qui sont, elles-mêmes, victimes de telles procédures de la part de leurs concurrents. Nous participons à leurs côtés aux procédures OMC de règlement des différends à Genève et les conseillons dans les nombreux autres aspects de la régulation économique internationale. Notre bureau de Bruxelles est un interlocuteur reconnu des entreprises, des institutions et des gouvernements pour les nouveaux sujets de régulation de la mondialisation : marchés publics, services, investissements, obstacles d’ordre réglementaire, mesures discriminatoires, contrôle des exportations ou encore protection de la propriété intellectuelle.
Gide a été l’un des tout premiers cabinets d’avocats en Europe à développer une pratique en droit de l’OMC à Bruxelles. Nous avons consolidé cette pratique grâce à notre réseau de bureaux internationaux et à nos contacts dans les pays émergents. Gide a été classé en 2013 par Legal 500 parmi les quatre premiers cabinets leaders de ce secteur.
Grâce à ses bureaux, aux membres de l’Alliance ou du réseau Lex Mundi, Gide est largement présent dans les procédures administratives et contentieuses dans de nombreux pays : Brésil, Russie, Inde, Maroc, Turquie, Afrique du Sud, Vietnam, Malaisie, Argentine, Indonésie ou encore Etats-Unis.
