Gide Loyrette Nouel A.A.R.P.I. is frequently engaged by leading French-based multinationals from a wide range of sectors, including retail, media, food and beverages, and cosmetics, to handle high-profile mandates. The team has deep expertise in antitrust litigation, assisting clients in sensitive cartel and abuse of dominance investigations and in proceedings before the national and European regulators and courts, and is also commended for its experience in private enforcement cases. Merger control cases – and related FDI and FSR filings – and state aid matters are other key pillars of the practice. Experienced practice heads Emmanuel Reille, Franck Audran, Laura Castex and Dimitri Dimitrov provide comprehensive coverage of EU and competition law, often working closely with the firm’s Brussels office. Elizabeth Gautier, who was promoted to partner in July 2024, and Charles Terdjman are also noted.
