Mathilde Gérot, Esq., Attorney at Law in Paris 8

Who am I?

A member of the Paris Bar for 13 years, I developed my expertise at prestigious international law firms (August & Debouzy, Hogan Lovells, Clifford Chance, Signature Litigation) before founding my own firm to offer my clients a more direct and personalized relationship.

My career path has allowed me to develop a rare dual expertise: on the one hand, commercial and product litigation, including the coordination of large-scale class-action lawsuits for a major player in the automotive industry; on the other hand, data protection law, which has become essential for any business.

Thanks to this international and cross-sector experience, I am now able to quickly grasp the issues involved in your case and offer you effective solutions, whether it involves defending your interests in court or mitigating legal risks.
