Qualified candidates interested in a career or an internship in our Paris office are welcome to send by e-mail or regular mail a cover letter and their curriculum vitae to the attention of the Paris Recruiting Department Assistant.
Selected applicants will be invited for interviews with one or more partners and/or associates in Paris. The process may involve several rounds of interviews. Decisions to recruit interns or permanent associates for the Paris office are taken by the Paris Personnel Committee on the basis of the academic and, if applicable, professional achievements of the applicants and their evaluation by partners and/or associates who interviewed them.
The firm participates in a number of events organized in France by law schools (Paris I, Paris II, Paris X, etc.), business schools (HEC, ESSEC, ESCP-EAP, etc.), political sciences schools (Instituts d'études politiques) and other academic institutions to provide students with information on the firm and the career opportunities it offers. Typically, the purpose of these events is informational only and students wishing to apply for a permanent position or an internship must apply separately to the Paris Office Hiring Partner.
The firm also participates in the job fair sponsored by the Paris Bar School (Ecole Française du Barreau) where we meet a number of job applicants each year.
Furthermore, the firm participates each year in the New York University International Student Interview Program and the Columbia Overseas-Trained LL.M. Student Interview Program held at the end of January in New York for applicants enrolled in LL.M. programs in the United States. In addition to hiring applicants from these interview programs to begin work directly as associates in the Paris office, we also invite selected students to participate in our International Lawyer Program in New York or Washington before transferring to the Paris office.
