Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton is the go-to-firm for large French and international corporations, notably among publicly listed companies, for their large credit facilities needs (including senior and medium-term loans and RCF), or to finance large acquisitions. Valérie Lemaitre is the key name here, and is supported by counsel Laura Birène. Additionally, the firm is also retained by many African states and private entities to assist with Africa-related transactions, often dealing with infrastructure, energy and natural resources projects. In that area, Barthélemy Faye is highly sought after.
