Headed by Vincent Brenot, Emmanuelle Mignon, Nicolas Baverez and Hélène Billery, August Debouzy’s Public Law team provides a full range of advisory and litigation services to key public and private sector entities.

The team’s unique skill set combines the extensive knowledge of lawyers with specialized experience both in France and in an international setting, and the first-hand knowledge of lawyers whose previous professional roles in public service allow August Debouzy to have valuable insight on the inner dealings with government and EU regulatory bodies.
