Djazia Tiourtite

As a partner in the Dispute Resolution department of the Paris office, I bring my clients strategic and hands-on expertise in civil and commercial litigation, built over more than 15 years of practice.

My approach is grounded in a rigorous blend of legal creativity, mastery of French and international procedural rules, and a deep understanding of the economic and technological dynamics shaping today's business environment.

I advise international corporations on managing complex disputes, with a focus on delivering bespoke solutions at every stage of the resolution process—whether through negotiation, mediation, litigation, or enforcement.

My practice encompasses a wide range of commercial and civil liability matters, including:
Unfair competition and restrictive trade practices
Distribution disputes and abrupt termination of established commercial relationships
Breaches of contract and failures in industrial or digital projects
Liability of technical intermediaries and issues related to online reputation

I strongly believe that effective dispute resolution often begins with prevention. I incorporate a proactive dimension into my legal advice, emphasising strategic risk management and thorough contract analysis.

This enables me to support clients in navigating complex environments where legal, economic, and technological issues are closely intertwined.

Beyond my litigation practice, I am actively engaged in initiatives promoting gender equality and diversity in the legal profession.

Passionate about innovation, I contribute to thought leadership on the evolution of law in the digital age through publications, conferences, and speaking engagements focused on emerging challenges in digital litigation and the transformation of legal practice through technology.

• Assisted a software editor with respect to the claim raised by its customer in relation with the implementation of a standard solution which was allegedly not adapted to the client's need and wrongly implemented. The value of the claim was several million Euros and after several months of technical investigations by a judicial expert, this case was amicably settled in a favourable way for the client.
• Represented an insurer regarding the disputes brought by several of its providers in relation with the reorganization of the network. One of the disputes went to mediation and another one has been settled directly between lawyers. In both cases I succeeded to convince the opposing parties to reach a settlement agreement with which the client was very satisfied.
• In addition to the various disputes faced by the French branch of a vehicle constructor, I'm currently managing the day-to-day issues it faces with its dealer network (breach of the dealer agreement regarding the sale of competitors products by the dealer, use of the client signs by independent sellers) and with customers (vehicles involved in accidents, allegedly non-compliant products etc.). In 2017, the Paris Court of appeal rejected the claim raised by a dealer who went into liquidation allegedly because of my client's lack of support in relation with the increase in parallel imports and put an end to this litigation I was taking care of since 2010.
• Successfully assisted Chinese companies before the international chamber of the Paris Commercial court regarding the claim brought by a former commercial agent despite the jurisdiction clause agreed between the parties in favour of the Chinese courts.
