In reaction to heightened client demand for counsel on issues such as white-collar investigations, competition, litigation, and other compliance concerns, Stephenson Harwood has convened a multidisciplinary compliance team based in its Paris office. The composition of the team combines both existing lawyers from Stephenson Harwood and distinguished recruits from external institutions, including a compliance specialist from Baker McKenzie in Paris and a former French parliamentarian known for his significant contribution in the formulation of new laws that broadened legal privilege for in-house counsel.
Due to the increasing intricacy of regulatory matters, this development comes at a strategic time, aligning with a growing market demand for comprehensive legal advice in various scopes of corporate management.
