Led by Emmanuelle Cabrol, Ashurst LLP‘s compact Paris practice attracts key mandates from leading corporations. The team handles a high amount of work linked to the energy sector (gas and renewables) and Africa (notably from Algeria), while construction issues pertaining to the nuclear field is a major area of strength. The Paris team, which frequently collaborates with the firm's London and Dubai offices, is notably involved in a particularly prominent case relating to gas field expropriation and recently noticed an uptick in mandates concerning French renewables projects. The team’s caseload also extends to other various areas.
