Presentation
Thibault Kempf is a criminal lawyer, specialized in White collar Criminal Law.
A graduate of the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Thibault Kempf joined the World Bank Group in Washington D.C. in 2012 as a member of the internal investigative team of the Ethics and Business Conduct department. This professional experience has enabled him to acquire in-depth knowledge of the increasingly stringent compliance obligations imposed on international organizations and their partners leading him to work on the implementation of procedural safeguards to oversee internal investigations.
In 2014, Thibault completed his training as a lawyer in London (at cabinet Sternberg Reed Solicitors) and in Dublin (within the firm MacGuill Company) with two lawyers specialising in the protection of fundamental rights in highly sensitive cases including embezzlement of European public funds, terrorism and international drug-dealing.
Thibault then practiced for seven years within the firm Soulez Lariviere Avocats alongside Daniel Soulez Larivière, Aurélia Grignon, Capucine Lanta de Berard and Astrid Mignon Colombet.
During these seven years he advised and represented the French and international clients of the firm on complex issues of white-collar litigation, in particular in cases of corruption, economic sanctions and fraud. He also advised companies and executives in cross-border issues and has been involved in negotiating settlements between the SFO, the DOJ and the French Prosecutions services (PNF) since the Convention Judiciaire d’Intérêt Public (CJIP) mechanism was created in 2016.
Since the beginning of his professional career, Thibault has also developed a practice of General Criminal Law in its national and international dimension, notably through extradition procedures and European arrest warrants.
Cooperation
When the complexity and/or specialist nature of certain cases justifies it, the firm works quickly and efficiently with our network of trusted colleagues, to form multidisciplinary teams.
The multi-jurisdictional nature of a case often requires the setting up of international defense teams. The firm benefits from established cooperation with international colleagues, notably in England (Kenneth Carr and Ben Thomas), Ireland (James Mac Guill) and the United States (Nancy Hollander)
Fees
The fees are agreed upon in a Letter of Engagement signed with the client, according to the specifics of the case, on the basis of an hourly rate or a flat fee when possible.
