On April 5, 2024, Jones Day announced the addition of François-Guilhem Vaissier to its government regulation practice in Paris. Vaissier has joined as a partner, bringing with him a wealth of expertise in matters pertaining to transactional and regulatory issues, particularly focusing on sectors such as power and energy, infrastructure, water, and mining.
Vaissier is bringing along with him a compliance team of three associates and two trainees to further strengthen the firm’s regulation practice repertoire. The move is seen as a strategic effort by Jones Day to bolster their capabilities amidst growing regulatory scrutiny and complex transactional mandates in the aforementioned sectors.
The official announcement about the appointment came last Friday, as stated by Jones Day.
The story was initially covered by Bloomberg Law Automation.
Vaissier’s portfolio and the strength of the associates and trainees he is bringing to Jones Day is likely to enhance the firm’s legal services in related practice areas, further reinforcing its reputation in the market.
