French independent Jeantet Associes has strengthened its Paris office with the hire of three partners from Landwell & Associes.
Corporate partner Nicole Goulard, litigation partner Sylvie Damany and employment law partner Francis Collin all joined the firm alongside three associates on 1 April, bringing the number of partners at the Paris office to 26.
Damany, who specialises in personal taxation and heritage, began her career at the firm before joining Landwell in 1992 to head its Paris litigation and risk management practice.
Likewise, Collin, who specialises in employment law, began his career at Jeantet in 1990 before joining Barnes & Associates and then Landwell.
Managing partner Yvon Dreano told Legal Week: "For them it is like coming home. We're delighted to have them – they know quite a few people here already and it's always good to see our people who go and work in another firm realise that it was even better where they started."
Goulard, who specialises in personal taxation and heritage and began her career at Landwell in 1988, becomes the office's ninth corporate partner.
Collin is the third partner in the Paris employment practice and Damany is one of four dedicated litigation partners at the office.
Dreano added: "The plan now is to continue expanding. The idea is to reach the size of around 100 lawyers. We have around 95 now so we do not have far to go. Litigation is still on the agenda and we will look to expand in real estate and M&A as well. We'll also be looking to reinforce the team in other areas."
Meanwhile, it was announced last week that Landwell dispute resolution partner Michele Anahory also left the firm's Paris office. She joined Simmons & Simmons's Paris office on 1 April with associate Olivier Smallwood.
