She then went on to work in criminal financial law and criminal business law with her associate and student of Me Pierre Haik, Me David-Olivier Kaminski.

(lien : Pierre HAIK – GQ).

These forerunners of the bar taught MONTENOT to be responsive each in their own way. Responsivity is the very definition of judiciary strategy and necessary for the practice of any good defense. It is an indispensable quality for all bar lawyers.

 

During this time she gained a considerable amount of experience, learned all the ins and outs of the profession, and notably acquired the reflexes of a specialist.
MONTENOT has made a name for herself as an official lawyer of the bar of Paris (le Barreau de Paris). She is particularly known for closely guiding offenders with sensitive cases of organized crime, fraud, breach of trust and exploitation of weakness through each step of the judiciary process.

Her expertise in cases of value added tax fraud, bank transfer order fraud and CO2 scandals, have allowed her to understand and practice the necessary rigueur of her profession. Her rigour has proven especially rewarding throughout the process of monitoring the development of complex and copious legal proceedings.

Today Me Carole-Olivia MONTENOT devotes the fruits of her experience to her clients. The weapons she has acquired far exceed what is necessary for a high-quality and strong defense.
