All of our partners in Paris are Avocats à la Cour. One partner in the office is admitted to practice in both France and the United States.
Our Paris office provides a special combination of both transactional and litigation expertise, which is increasingly a key part of the strategic advice that clients seek today. By combining our preeminent U.S. law and cross-border practice with French law capabilities, Davis Polk offers a single, comprehensive team of lawyers to advise clients on all French, U.S. and cross-border legal issues.
Underscoring Davis Polk’s strong commitment to our French practice is our move in 2007 to a new office on the Champs-Elysées that is roughly six-times larger than our former space. The recent growth of the office coupled with Davis Polk’s expanding French law practice has led to the firm being retained in a number of the most significant recent cross-border transactions involving French companies.
