Eiffage
One of Europe’s leading construction companies that has a large presence in the French market, Eiffage relies on the legal and compliance support of a team that is richly experienced and able to rise to new challenges posed by a market sector rife with issues. Eiffage’s legal function in France is led by dedicated legal director Hervé Willaume, who has provided knowledge and support to Eiffage for over 20 years. Eiffage’s legal team culture of excellence is summed up through the personal praise given by a nominating source for Willaume, who is described as possessing ‘technical mastery of the competition issues, [being] pragmatic and very reactive’. An example of these skills in action came when Eiffage was the victor in the process of obtaining a contract for the extension of the Paris Metro. The company will construct the south-eastern portion of the new line 15 in a process worth almost €800m and will deliver public transport project links between Parisian suburbs more easily and more quickly.
