Our Key Judicial Contacts
Judges and Law Enforcement Officers: As judicial experts, we contribute our expertise to investigations involving industrial incidents, legal disputes, or criminal inquiries.
Bailiffs: We ensure the integrity of samples, their proper conservation, and their chain of custody throughout laboratory processing.
Firefighters and Attorneys: We intervene on-site for urgent measurements or in support of out-of-court dispute resolutions.
As part of our judicial expertise services, our laboratory conducts on-site investigations, sample collection, and physico-chemical analyses to identify, characterize, and interpret data related to legal disputes or criminal investigations.
Our Services Include:
Tailored Analyses: We perform customized physico-chemical analyses for each case, whether involving unknown substances, residues, or suspicious materials. We identify the causes and origins of chemical incidents, defects, or industrial disputes.
Detailed Expert Reports: Unlike a simple results report, we interpret the collected data within the specific context of the case or investigation. Our experts hold a dedicated consultation session with you to explain the results and address any questions.
Rapid Response: In urgent cases, we provide preliminary results immediately and deliver full intervention reports within 48 hours.
We operate on incident scenes or within the context of complex disputes to provide thorough, accurate analysis—always in full compliance with forensic and criminal procedure standards.
OSE Expertises is a key player in the fight against fraud, counterfeiting, and defects in both industrial and artistic sectors. We leverage our multidisciplinary expertise to examine evidence and provide expert reports for criminal, civil, or out-of-court cases.
Our Areas of Intervention:
Fraud & Counterfeiting: We conduct in-depth investigations on forged documents, falsified artworks, and counterfeit products to identify the materials and techniques used.
Chemical and Industrial Incidents: In the event of accidents or disputes in the chemical, metallurgical, or pharmaceutical industries, we analyze raw materials, finished products, and on-site substances to determine the causes of failure.
Construction Defects and Failures: We also investigate chemical risks in buildings and construction by analyzing defective materials, unknown compositions, or alloy structures.
Our experts—officially accredited by the courts of Paris, Chambéry, and members of the Swiss Chamber of Judicial Experts—are well-versed in judicial procedures and the requirements of complex investigations.
