France

Skadden’s Paris office offers a wealth of experience in mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, dispute resolution, investigations, tax and employment law.

French and U.S. qualified attorneys in the Paris office advise French, European and multinational companies, financial institutions and investment funds on a range of legal matters, notably on highly complex cross-border transactions. The Paris office serves as one of Skadden’s major hubs for pan-European work, and our attorneys are experienced in working with the various cultural differences that frequently arise in transactions involving multiple jurisdictions.

Skadden has successfully established a combined U.S. and European capability, developing local practices across the key European jurisdictions such as France. Our European practice extends to seven offices in all major financial centres, operating as an integrated group without jurisdictional boundaries. Our attorneys, many of whom are multilingual and multicultural, are consistently recommended in Chambers Europe and The Legal 500: EMEA.
