Wilson Elser maintains a dedicated France Practice that provides legal assistance to companies and individuals with business interests in or involving France and its 13 territories.

France Practice members include attorneys throughout our office network who are native speakers or fluent in French and familiar with applicable statutes, regulations and treaties. 

Focused principally on insurance defense, we represent several large French carriers and their insureds. We also defend self-insured companies in a cross-section of industries including:

With collective decades of related experience, members of our France Practice enjoy an enviable record of successfully managing and mitigating risk. 

We work with various French parties on transactional matters specifically relative to commercial contracts and agreements, mergers and acquisitions, art law and intellectual property. Practice members enjoy considerable related experience and, as with insurance defense, bring to bear the applicable skills of colleagues in other functional and geographic areas.

With a growing, outward-reaching economy, the third-largest foreign employer in the United States continues to see a rise in French insurance claims, related litigation and transactional needs. Our practice attorneys can help companies and individuals navigate the complex legal issues arising in – or between – our two countries.
