About

Provided by Bird & Bird

With 20+ lawyers in France, our Corporate/M&A team is dedicated to general practice in M&A, Private Equity, Capital Markets, public securities offerings, JV & partnerships & other restructuring transactions.


Bird & Bird stands out from other firms on the French market thanks to our distinctive sectoral approach: we remain one of the first firms to have organized our activity on a sector-focused basis. This allows our lawyers to develop a deep and well-versed expertise in their distinctive areas of activity, such as Automotive, Aviation & Aerospace, Defence & Security, Energy & Utilities, Financial Services, Life Sciences & Healthcare, Media, Entertainment & Sport, Retail & Consumer and Technology & Communications. They are then best placed to provide advice that take into account the specific conditions operating in the sector that our clients work within. 


We 'get' technology

We are global leaders in advising organisations being changed by technology & the digital world. We have an acute focus on technology trends & developments, & how these impact specific industries, taking experience from different sectors to help us guide clients. We regularly share training sessions & resources to help our clients navigate these tech developments, guiding them through both the challenges & opportunities that they represent.

 

With respect to our M&A practice, that sector approach has meant that we have been able to develop a well-established expertise across several sectors.
