Linklaters‘ Paris-based team stands out for its ability to handle a wide range of cases before the French and EU tribunals, while also regularly assisting clients facing proceedings in Africa. The practice shows particular strength in managing high-stakes follow-on claims, notably linked to previous antitrust condemnations or to the distribution of financial products. The practice also deals with corporate, commercial, regulatory, criminal and industrial liability cases, representing banks, financial institutions, and large French and international corporations. Jean-Charles Jaïs is the key name within the practice, which also includes Eléonore Hannezo and Cyril Falhun.
