Our client is a leading French business law firm with over a century of history, recognized for its international expertise and ability to handle complex cross-border transactions. More than 50% of its activity comes from international clients, supported by a network of premier partner firms that enable seamless coordination of large-scale cross-border matters both in France and abroad.

The firm brings together 200 professionals, including 47 partners, advising major corporations, financial institutions, investment funds, and public entities on the most high-profile and complex market transactions. Its practice spans all areas of business law, combining transactional and litigation expertise, with particular strength in highly regulated sectors such as banking & finance, energy & renewables, real estate, and IP/tech/data.

Joining this team means stepping into a stimulating environment rooted in strong ethical values and a collective ambition. The firm is now seeking a lawyer with 1 to 3 years of post-qualification experience gained in a top-tier law firm, to join its cross-border Corporate/M&A practice within a team of 10 lawyers handling strategic, high-visibility deals in an international context.

This is an excellent opportunity for a driven professional who thrives in a rigorous yet collaborative atmosphere, eager to develop their career on complex international transactions.

  • 1 to 3 years of post-qualification experience as a lawyer, ideally in a top-tier firm, with a focus on corporate and M&A matters
  • Admitted to the French Bar (CAPA) or equivalent qualification
  • Master’s degree in business law, preferably complemented by a dual degree (e.g., in France or abroad) or a business school background
  • Excellent English language skills (oral and written); additional languages are a plus
  • Strong team spirit and genuine passion for international, cross-border transactional projects
  • High standards of professionalism, rigor, and client service
