Gide Loyrette Nouel is the leading full service law firm in France with over 70 partners and 400 lawyers working out of Paris and 12 offices world-wide. As the leading French firm we have an excellent client franchise amongst leading French and international blue chip companies.
The quality of work across business area such as banking, corporate, capital markets, project finance, mergers and acquisitions and securitisation is, quite simply, outstanding. For example, we were recently voted elected Capital Markets Team of the Year for the Paquebot Finance Chantiers de l'Atlantique securitisation transaction by the Legal Business Awards 2000.
We are now looking for a number of junior lawyers with experience in any of these areas to join our team in Paris.
The work will be varied, challenging and international in nature and there will be opportunities for secondments overseas should you wish.
The package will be highly competitive internationally and will include a relocation allowance.
You will have a strong academic background, a good grounding in law and be ready and willing to try a different and exciting working environment that will significantly enhance your career prospects. As an expanding law firm, partnership is a real possibility.
You will be encouraged to maintain your UK qualification and also assisted to study the relevant aspects of French law and to pass the Paris Bar.
You will have knowledge of the French language but you do not necessarily need to be fluent. An English partner, for example, joined with only 'A' level French as background but with a strong commitment to learn and is now fluent.
So why not send us your cv. This is an outstanding opportunity for non-French lawyers who wish to work in a challenging environment that will promote your professional and personal development.
Alternatively, you might be a French lawyer who wishes to return to France. In either case, if you recognise yourself in the above description we would like to hear from you.
