Centrally located within the European Union and with one of the world's largest economies, France is an important economic hub. Its markets for financial products and consumer goods, in addition to its employment sector, are heavily regulated. Conducting commercial operations in France thus requires a thorough understanding of business law.

Hogan Lovells' Paris office comprises some 120 lawyers, who work closely with their counterparts in our network of over 40 offices around the world, providing comprehensive capabilities and local market knowledge to clients wherever they choose to do business.

With French-speaking lawyers on both sides of the Atlantic and Paris-based lawyers deeply rooted in France's legal, administrative, regulatory, and business communities, we are particularly well positioned to advise on transatlantic matters.

We serve a wide range of top-tier local and international clients, including public and private companies, financial institutions, government agencies, regulatory authorities, private equity firms, and individual business leaders.

Through our breadth of experience, we have extensive industry-specific knowledge, particularly in financial institutions, energy, consumer products and retail, life sciences, insurance, transportations, automotive, and telecommunications, media/entertainment, and technology (TMT). Having handled hundreds of matters for clients in these sectors, we demonstrate in-depth understanding of the business strategies and objectives relevant to these industries and shape our legal advice accordingly.
