Attorney at the Nice Bar
Where law meets real life
Criminal law and white-collar crime. Member of the Nice Bar, practicing throughout France.

About
Eva Ballin is an attorney at the Nice Bar. She practices primarily in criminal law and white-collar crime, where law meets real life, its tensions, its urgencies, its risks. For her, criminal procedure is not just a framework: it is a field of precision, where every word counts, where every mistake can be costly, and where every irregularity must be identified, discussed, and challenged.
Trained for two years at the Institut de Sciences pénales d'Aix-en-Provence, graduating with honors, she also holds two Masters degrees — in business law and financial crime — as well as a DESU in economic criminal risk. She enriched this academic background with experience in compliance and anti-money laundering at a Big Four firm in Luxembourg, before joining a white-collar crime law firm in Monaco.
She was trained by Maître Joseph COHEN SABBAN as well as Maîtres Steeve RUBEN and Marie VIOLLEAU in Paris, then by Maître Sophie JONQUET in Nice. Having also lived in Singapore and Dubai, Eva Ballin possesses an international perspective that enriches her practice. She works equally well in French and English, with the same rigor and standards.
Since January 2025, she has been practicing at a Nice firm primarily dedicated to criminal law, as a collaborating attorney, while developing her own practice. She is often described as attentive, human, and tenacious. She approaches each case as a battle worth fighting to the end, with method, loyalty, and determination.

"Courage, for a lawyer, is essential, without which nothing else matters: talent, culture, knowledge of the law, everything is useful to a lawyer. But without courage, at the decisive moment, there are only words, sentences that follow one another, that shine and die. Defending is not setting off fireworks: the beautiful blue, the beautiful red, and the bouquet that rises, explodes and falls back into a thousand flowers. Then silence and night return and nothing remains."
Practice Areas

Her goal is twofold: ensure immediate safety and enable the person she supports to regain control of their life, legally and humanly.
