In 2025, De Gaulle Fleurance Avocats Notaires will rely on the three pillars that have ensured its success. Firstly, its ability to expand into different markets and territories. Historically based in France, our company has become a major player in business law over the last 20 years. It now employs 200 professionals dedicated to assisting businesses and public sector bodies in its two areas of expertise: advisory and litigation. Its full-service practice covers the structural needs and operational activities of our clients. In France, its uniqueness is particularly reflected in a unified service of lawyers and notaries which simplifies the procedures for its clients. Abroad, it won the trust of leading global groups and governments, supporting their development in Europe, emerging markets and the African continent, through its offices in Geneva, Brussels, Abu Dhabi and, from this year, Abidjan.
The second pillar of our company is its ability to anticipate market trends and support major transformations, whether digital, ecological or societal. A pioneer in energy transition, it is also the leading firm for global players in on-chain finance who choose De Gaulle Fleurance to develop their activities on the crypto-asset market within a legal framework that fosters confidence. In 2025, De Gaulle Fleurance remains the forefront of CSR regulations, with two of our partners among the first graduating classes to obtain their sustainability auditor certificate. Finally, we have developed in-depth expertise in the space sector, which plays a strategic and increasingly significant role in our economies.
Our third strength is our team’s culture of innovation. Our team of lawyers and notaries has developed a model that is unique in our market. Adaptability, fostered by a decentralised organisation, enables them to understand the challenges of the different business sectors in which our clients operate and thus to better meet their expectations. We also encourage internal mobility within our Group and its various international subsidiaries. Another strong marker of this culture is that our lawyers have been pioneers in developing solutions based on AI and blockchain, in order to better assess litigation risks, optimize legal strategies, and protect our clients' intangible assets. We will continue to deploy new technologies to offer ever more innovative services. And we can't wait to share them with you in 2025!
