European competition and digital regulation boutique Geradin Partners has hired a veteran EU official and competition litigator as a partner to open its new Paris office, the firm’s fourth location in Europe in nine years.

Geradin Partners, which opened offices in London in 2021 and Amsterdam in 2023, lists a team of seven partners and 20 experts for its antitrust litigation across Europe. It said the Paris office will enable it to advise clients in France on the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA), Digital Services Act, and EU competition law, and help international clients who have business with the French competition authority.
