France > Administrative and public law

August Debouzy houses one of France’s top regulatory practices and the firm’s capabilities have been further enhanced by the opening of an office in Brussels in Spring 2023. The team, which has a deep and direct practical knowledge of the public sector, is entrusted by many leading French and international companies and investment funds to assist with their most sensitive and challenging projects.
