Making your voice heard.
Shaping the regulatory landscape.

Interest representation and lobbying – a central component of European, national and local affairs – are an essential part of the dialogue between private stakeholders and public officials.
As public affairs lawyers, our mission is to interact with public decision-makers to make your voice heard in the debates that are important to you.
We take action in a number of strategic areas ranging from getting your message across to negotiating with public stakeholders to drafting the regulations that impact your activities, by translating your proposals into legal terms.
We help our clients refine their position and interact with public officials to encourage dialogue and ensure that their interests are considered in current debates.
We help our clients translate their stance into the regulations affecting their activities, primarily by drafting amendments before the adoption of legislative or regulatory texts.
From Brussels to Paris via Barcelona, Claire Pinson-Bessonnet is one of the most experienced public affairs lawyers in Paris. Admitted to the Paris bar in 2008, she headed up European affairs for a French regulatory authority before running compliance for a private entity. She went on to lead regulatory affairs for a law firm focusing on public affairs. Claire now provides personal support to her clients, assisting them with the representation of their interests.
The profession of the public affairs lawyer is regulated by a dual framework: the ethics of the lawyer and the transparency of the lobbyist.
Far from being a constraint, this duality is the compass that guides the conduct of each case we take on, with utmost respect for the traditional values of the legal profession and the more recent regulation of interest representation and lobbying.
