Co-head of the corporate M&A and private equity team in the Paris office, Guillaume Briant advises public and private companies, as well as private equity funds, on a variety of French and international transactional matters.

Guillaume has more than 15 years' experience advising European and US investors on their inbound investments in France, whether through the acquisition of businesses or equity investments in high growth companies, and advising French corporate players in their international operations. He focuses his practice on the technology (including telecoms), energy and life sciences sectors, but also has extensive experience in transactions involving the agri-food, and manufacturing industries. He regularly leads international transactions and quarterbacks cross-border teams of lawyers, with a particular focus on pan-European or cross-Atlantic transactions.
