Linklaters has bolstered its corporate and M&A team in Paris with the arrival of Florent Mazeron from Magic Circle rival Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
Private equity expert Mazeron joins the firm as a partner, bringing with him a wealth of experience working on major buyout deals and other corporate transactions in both the public and private market.
The firm will hope Mazeron’s arrival can help boost its M&A advisory work in France – it was absent from Mergermarket’s top 20 advisors by deal count and deal value in France in the first quarter of the year, though it ranked 12th by deal value and 7th by deal count in the Europe-wide rankings.
