Paris
Paris is the hub for Clyde & Co’s activities in continental Europe. It is also one of the top three global insurance centres, and Clyde & Co is one of the few firms in France with a reinsurance practice. Our team of nearly 30 lawyers has been dubbed “undoubtedly the best insurance firm in France”.
Our senior insurance lawyers have over 30 years’ industry experience and our merger with Beaumont & Son and Beaumont Garnault fortified our position as France’s premier aviation firm. However, all of our lawyers are well-known experts in their sectors and are equally at home with contentious and non-contentious issues.
We have the resources to support an exceptional dispute resolution practice. We excel in litigation and arbitration, especially in insurance and reinsurance, and regularly appear before the ICC. Our cases tend to be complex and high-profile, and we regularly pursue claims in foreign jurisdictions, from overseas French territory to French-speaking Africa.
Approximately 80% of our insurance work is contentious. We advise on regulatory issues, corporate and industrial risks, general and international insurance. Clients appreciate our thorough auditing function.
Like other Clyde & Co offices, we have a strong sector focus. We cover:
- Aviation
- Construction
- Energy
- Insurance
- International trade
- Reinsurance
- Shipping
We have established a loyal following of French and global clients. They represent a broad range of major insurance and industrial companies from across the sector spectrum, from insurance/reinsurance multinationals to airlines and major players in the marine sector. Clients rely on us for ongoing legal advice to carry them through their day-to-day business functions.
We also have an office in Nantes, specialising in contract and finance work for local insurance interests, traders and shipyards.
