International law firm Stephenson Harwood has boosted its Paris office with the hire of new partners Alain Gautron and Stéphane Salou and two associates Serge Rastorgoueff and Linda Bessa from Norton Rose.
Both Alain Gautron and Stéphane Salou have experience in French tax lease structures. They join partners Richard Pearson and Edward Campbell, who specialise in asset and project finance in the shipping, offshore, aviation and renewable energy sectors.
Richard Pearson, Managing Partner of Stephenson Harwood’s Paris office said: “Alain and Stéphane are unequivocally the leading individuals in their respective markets and their practices perfectly complement both our existing offering in Paris and the firm’s international finance practice as a whole, allowing us to further develop our relationships with the French banks and numerous corporate clients across a range of sectors including shipping, aviation, rail and other projects. In addition, Stéphane’s tax capability gives us a solid foundation to develop a French corporate practice. ”
