Sullivan & Cromwell LLP

Profile:

The S&C Paris office, first opened in 1927, is the oldest of the European offices. Today the 30+ lawyer Paris-based team conducts complementary French and U.S. law practices advising corporate, government and investment bank clients on a broad range of corporate and finance matters, including equity and debt capital markets, and cross-border and domestic M&A (including private equity). Its practice also includes a significant French tax practice, as well as projects and litigation components. The co-head of our worldwide insurance practice is based in Paris and conducts an extensive insurance and financial institutions practice in Europe from that office. More than half of its lawyers, including five prominent French partners and senior counsel, practice French and EU law.

The Paris office is consistently recognized in the press for its work on the most novel, most economically significant and highest profile transactions.
