Jeantet
Described as a ‘dynamic team operating at the cutting edge’, Jeantet’s energy and natural resources group encompasses expertise in project finance, M&A and public law issues. The outfit also wins praise for its contentious capabilities and is equipped to represent clients in litigation and arbitration. Hélène Gelas advises extensively on energy projects that contain public or environmental law elements. She co-leads the practice alongside international arbitration specialist Thierry Lauriol and regulatory specialist Adrien Fourmon. Martin Tavaut is well versed in international arbitration, while Philippe Raybaud and Alexae Fournier-de Faÿ further strengthen the practice’s energy transition capabilities.
