Claude Etienne Armingaud

My practice focuses on the representation of public and private companies in the area of information technologies and intellectual property law. I counsel clients at all stages of their corporate life cycle and in wide-ranging transactions, including in connection with litigation compliance matters, intellectual property protection and development, data protection strategic operations, and other commercial contracts.

Start-up Experience

I regularly advise start-up companies in matters relating to securing their intellectual property, be it from in-house or external providers or employees, as well as securing their process from the start to ensure a streamlined evolution towards more advanced stages of growth. 

Innovative Services Experience

I have extensive experience in understanding technological and structural processes, which allows for innovative approaches to solidify my client's business models and protect their immaterial assets. This ranges from client and prospect data optimization to enforcing their intellectual properties. I regularly assist service and content providers on both their front and back office matters. 

Global Approach

My legal experience is anchored on both a French civil law practice and American common law training. I provide my clients with a multicultural approach to their needs, be it for American entities doing business in continental Europe as well as European companies looking to expand their reach. 

With this global approach, I regularly assist my clients in litigation, transactional and regulatory matters at French, European, and international levels on:

• e-commerce;
• media & content distribution;
• privacy & consumer protection;
• defamation & online reputation;
• internal & external fraud;
• counterfeiting & IP infringement;
• internet liability;
• export control & e-discovery;
• antitrust & unfair competition;
• advertising, betting & gaming.
