Launch of Chambers France

France is known for its rich history and attractive culture, and the French legal market is no exception. With a number of independent law firms competing with well-established international giants, the French legal market is currently undergoing many changes.

Several elements contribute to this dynamic; the upcoming organization of the Paris Olympic Games is contributing to a renewed interest in the infrastructure sector, while the growing importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues is pushing firms to highlight their sustainability expertise.

On the other hand, issues related to regulatory matters are intensifying in various sectors, particularly technology and finance, and the control of foreign direct investments is gradually becoming a determining factor in many transactions.
