The Paris legal market is a unique mix of high end local firms and international firms from the UK and the US. As one of the major financial centres in Europe, international firms in Paris have experienced strong growth in the last 12 months, particularly in the areas of banking & finance, projects, M&A and capital markets.

These are the areas which are particularly receptive to Australian and New Zealand lawyers, particularly those who also have a relevant UK or US qualification. Although French language skills are a significant advantage, particularly in M&A where practices tend to be locally focused, lawyers without language skills could make the move to a dedicated English practice, where they will do the same work as their counterparts in London. Currently, EA has a number of roles available for finance lawyers in Paris who have EU working rights.
