Band 4

Gilles Lebreton handles both domestic and cross-border acquisitions, acting for a client base of insurance companies, corporates, and infrastructure and private equity funds.

He is incredibly intelligent, calm under pressure and knows the rules inside and out. He has a balanced and informed perspective. He is a strong legal mind and a careful thinker.

Gilles is very loyal and excellent technically. He has a broad spectrum of expertise and is a top expert with immense talent. Gilles is also very well connected and always helpful.

Gilles is as humble as he is competent. His humility is an asset; he is like an iron fist in a velvet glove. I can't praise him enough.
