Alice Decramer

Alice Decramer, an associate in the Paris office of Signature Litigation AARPI, has been named Life Sciences Sector Advisory Expert of the Year in France at the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards. The recognition reflects her focused disputes practice and, in particular, the product liability and commercial litigation work she undertakes for clients in the life sciences sector, where scientific complexity and regulatory scrutiny combine to make advice especially demanding.

Ms Decramer practises within one of France's most highly regarded product liability teams. Signature Litigation's Paris office is widely acknowledged for the strength of its product liability practice, and it is here that she has developed her expertise. Her work spans commercial litigation, product liability and disputes arising along the manufacturer and supplier chain, as well as insurance-related matters, and she advises clients drawn from a wide range of industries. Among the sectors she serves, life sciences features prominently alongside energy, automotive, construction, food and cosmetics, giving her a broad frame of reference that she brings to bear on sector-specific problems.

A litigator by training, Ms Decramer has significant experience of national and cross-border disputes concerning product liability, acting for both manufacturers and insurers. She has developed particular expertise in managing expert proceedings within multi-party litigation, a discipline central to life sciences disputes, where causation and technical evidence are frequently contested and where the coordination of expert input can shape the outcome of a case. This capacity to marshal complex scientific and factual material is a defining feature of effective advisory work in the sector.

Her academic background reinforces this international outlook. Ms Decramer studied at the Sorbonne and at Dauphine University in Paris, as well as at Leiden University in the Netherlands, an education spanning more than one legal tradition that complements the cross-border character of her practice. Her standing has been acknowledged externally through recognition in The Best Lawyers in France guide, and she has contributed to respected comparative publications on product regulation, liability and drug and medical device litigation, sharing her analysis of the French position with an international readership.

Signature Litigation is a disputes-focused firm, and its Paris office brings together a team of experienced lawyers trained at leading international practices. Within that setting Ms Decramer's concentration on the life sciences sector allows clients to draw on advice that is both technically rigorous and commercially aware. The Corporate INTL Global Awards recognise advisers who demonstrate genuine command of their field within a jurisdiction, and in naming Alice Decramer Life Sciences Sector Advisory Expert of the Year in France for 2024, the awards acknowledge the depth of her disputes experience and the value she offers to life sciences clients navigating high-stakes litigation.
