Gide Loyrette Nouel is an independent international law firm and the first to have originated in France. Its headquarters are located in Paris (15 rue de Laborde, 75008 Paris) [2] ). [3] Though Pierre Gide's legal practice began as early as 1920, the firm was itself founded in 1957 by Gide, Jean Loyrette and Philippe Nouel after the Paris Bar (Barreau de Paris) amended its rules allowing lawyers to form associations and practice in a collective. The firm currently employs some 1,000 people, spread out over 12 offices in 11 countries. It numbers over 550 lawyers and legal consultants, including some 100 partners, covering 40 different nationalities. The firm operates as a limited liability partnership in London and as its French equivalent, an association d'avocats à responsabilité professionnelle individuelle (A.A.R.P.I.) in France. [4]

International strategy

In 1967, the firm launched its international practice with an office in Brussels. The firm currently maintains offices in civil law jurisdictions (such as those in Central and Eastern Europe, North Africa and Asia) as well as in those financial centers where firm clients require legal services (New York and London). [6] To help build its international credentials, the firm retained former French foreign minister Hubert Védrine in 2003. [7] Gide revised its international strategy in late 2010, closing its Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Dubai offices with immediate effect. The firm announced it would also close its Prague office and Belgrade offices.

Though the firm has a large roster of foreign and multinational clients, it has also remained a French operation, representing some 38 of the CAC 40 companies.

The firm is organised into international practice groups, covering the following practice areas: Banking & Finance; Competition & International Trade; Compliance & Corporate Investigations, Dispute Resolution; Employment; Insurance, Industrial Risk & Transport; Intellectual Property & Telecommunications, Media and Technology (TMT); Mergers & Acquisitions / Corporate Law; Projects (Finance & Infrastructure); Public Law & Environment; Real Estate; Tax.

Gide Loyrette Nouel is a member of the international network Lex Mundi, which brings together more than 160 independent law firms. [8]
