Hogan Lovells (Paris) LLP brings a breadth of talent to innovative and critical transactional, project, and contentious matters across the energy landscape. The energy group bolstered its strength in April 2024 through the hire of Christine Le Bihan-Graf and Laure Rosenblieh from De Pardieu Brocas Maffei, who together represent major domestic and global energy distributors, suppliers, and consumers on business-critical contentious and regulatory matters. Olivier Fille-Lambie regularly assists major domestic lenders in the financing of domestic and foreign renewable energy and biogas companies and projects. Also notable is Xavier Doumen , who advises leading energy companies on M&A and investments in the energy transition space.
