LPA Law significantly expanded its public law practice in January 2024 with the addition of Marion Roquette-Pfister, who joined from Norton Rose Fulbright, bringing expertise in regulatory issues, public procurement and concession contracts, and administrative litigation. The firm has recently been active in high-profile mandates in the transport, infrastructure, life sciences and energy sectors, acting for prominent clients that range from leading pharmaceutical companies to the French state. Urban planning law is the other key pillar of the ‘exceptional’ practice; Hélène Cloëz is renowned for her experience in advising private developers, financial institutions and public entities on the development of large-scale real estate projects, including major skyscraper projects in Paris.
