Paris

Established over 30 years ago, our Paris office is the firm’s second largest, comprising more than 150 people. It is led by country head Jacques-Antoine Robert.

Our Paris office may incorporate one of the top litigation practices in France, but it doesn’t just include lawyers. There’s also a doctor, two pharmacists and even some winemakers – one of our former managing partners now runs his own family Champagne vineyard.

The office has earned a reputation for the depth and quality of its expertise across the firm’s key industry sectors. It is recognised in particular for its expertise in the healthcare and life sciences sector – our global head of this sector, Alexandre Regniault, is based in Paris. It is also recognised for the strength of its Africa practice; its projects team having advised across the continent for more than 20 years.

The Paris office has a good gender balance at all levels, as well as a number of coaching and mentoring programmes to further the careers of its associates. The office is proud to work on pro bono projects, including partnering with the Kayapo tribe, led by the emblematic figure Raoni to protect the Amazon rainforest, and with a Canadian foundation to help set up a scheme to redistribute unwanted food from restaurants to those who need it most. The firm is also sponsoring three young athletes on their journey to the 2024 Paris Olympics Games.
