David Marais is a partner in the Dispute Resolution department at Taylor Wessing in Paris.

David's expertise covers the following areas: criminal business law, criminal labour law, specific criminal regulations (environmental criminal law, medical criminal law, etc.), criminal law compliance (management of whistleblowing systems, internal investigations and inquiries) and advice on sanctions imposed by the National Council for Private Security Activities (CNAPS).

David Marais trained at renowned law firms. A former Secretary of the Conference and expert in Business Protection and Economic Intelligence, he ran his own firm for 10 years before joining Simon Associés in 2021 to create a new department dedicated to corporate criminal law and compliance.

In 2022, he published a book entitled ‘La gestion du risque pénal et de la conformité à 360° : de l'audit à l'audience’ to highlight the necessary interconnection between corporate criminal law, economic intelligence and compliance.
