“We are proud to promote Capucine Davy – du Pac de Marsoulies, whose talent has truly stood out and whose practice has significantly contributed to strengthening our International Arbitration offering and supporting investors in their cross-border projects. Her in-depth knowledge of the African continent and the strategic sectors in which she operates is a major asset,” emphasises Louis de Gaulle, President of De Gaulle Fleurance.

“In a context marked by major geopolitical changes and increasing pressure on supply chains, international arbitration is becoming an essential tool. It helps to secure investments and strategic resources, particularly critical minerals. In a particularly dynamic context, the African and South American continents are playing an increasingly important role”, observes Capucine Davy – from Pac de Marsoulies.
