About

Prior to her current role, Stéphanie Le Coq de Kerland spent seven years with the law firm Fidal during which time she was tasked with the incorporation of the firms’ international department. Having gained expertise working with a diverse clientele, in 2012 she moved in-house with real estate development company Nexity, persuaded by the diversity of the group and the positioning of the legal department. She was tasked with dealing with the day to day legal issues of all the group’s subsidiaries. In 2014 the department was reorganised to include a division entitled “Services and Networks” to include both the steering of legal and economic issues, and in particular the legal management of real estate services. Le Coq de Kerland was made general counsel of this division while still having responsibility of her previous role, allowing her to ‘take charge of a large team and further diversify [her] field of intervention’. Having changed the legal team’s mission from ‘purely litigation files’ to cover all areas that may be required, they have now identified the types of dispute likely to occur in order to propose operational action plans. Leading a team of 10 and participating directly in the group’s project methodology, Le Coq de Kerland has extended the group’s strategy to incorporate digital issues. Presenting innovative solutions within a highly regulated market and successfully turning around a team formed only in the management of litigation, to make it operational and pragmatic, Le Coq de Kerland is bringing new legal dimensions to Nexity’s internal operations.
