What we say about the firm's legal practice in France

Administrative and public law

Within Administrative and public law,

Huglo Lepage & Associés Conseil is a long-established and reputed player in the field. Corinne Lepage has important political connections and is a former Minister of the Environment. Christian Huglo is also a recognised expert.

Environment

Within Environment,

Summer 2007 witnessed the arrival of a new leader with the creation of Genesis Avocats. This is the result of a group of Huglo Lepage & Associés Conseil’s lawyers leaving to establish their own practice. This new player has a focus on environmental issues relating to real estate, public law, litigation, health, press and corporate matters. Lawyers here already work for an impressive roster of public and private entities such as ONF, the town of Epernay and Véolia. Founding partners include Marie Yvonne Benjamin, Isabelle Cassin, Rémi Pierre Drai and Philippe Feitussi.

Within Environment,

Huglo Lepage & Associés Conseil is a traditional player with long- established expertise in environment-related issues. Since its creation in 1978, the firm has been involved in some of the high-profile environmental disputes in France with the sinkings of the Erika and the Prestige, and internationally, for example, in the Amoco Cadiz disaster in the US. Lawyers are also taking part in cases in connection with GM food issues. Former Minister of the Environment Corinne Lepage, and Christian Huglo are both recommended as leading experts.
