Jean L’Homme, a banking and finance lawyer previously with Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, has joined Proskauer Rose, an international law firm with more than 750 lawyers worldwide, as a partner in Paris.
L’Homme has particular experience in financial services regulatory matters and project finance, advising investment and commercial banks, hedge funds, insurance companies and investment service providers on regulatory issues affecting their businesses and transactions both in France and internationally. He also advises governments and public agencies worldwide on the financing of infrastructure projects.
‘We are glad to add Jean to our practice and integrate his significant capabilities into our international platform, which encompasses a growing range of transactional, fund formation, financing, and regulatory work across Europe and around the world,’ says Yasmine Tarasewicz, head of Proskauer’s Paris office.
‘His presence will enable us to continue our international expansion and demonstrates our continued ability to attract the region’s top legal talent.’
L’Homme is the latest addition to Proskauer’s Paris-based corporate practice, which recently welcomed a prominent group of private equity lawyers led by Daniel Schmidt and Olivier Dumas. The firm also added securities regulation and funds lawyer William Yonge as a partner in its new London office.
At the Paris office of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, L’Homme was head of the finance and regulatory/financial services groups. Proskauer’s Paris office provides legal advice to businesses and entities in France, the European Union, and worldwide in areas including mergers and acquisitions, private equity, corporate restructurings, and joint ventures, international taxation of companies and individuals and the tax structuring of corporate transactions and investment funds.
Founded in 1875, Proskauer Rose has offices in Boca Raton, Boston, London, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York, Newark, Paris, São Paulo and Washington, DC.
