Foley Hoag announced the relocation of its Paris office within the 8th arrondissement, a move that coincides with the firm’s 15th anniversary in the city. The new space offers a central, client-centric location and will continue to serve as a global hub for the firm’s renowned international litigation and arbitration practice.

“As we look ahead to the next 15 years in Paris, we remain focused on expanding our international litigation and arbitration practice in this market,” said Managing Partner Jim Bucking. “This move underscores our long-term commitment to Paris as a premier venue for resolving complex cross-border disputes.”

Working seamlessly across offices, Foley Hoag counts Portugal, Peru, Armenia, Belgium and many other sovereigns and private companies among its clients. Since opening in 2011, the Paris Office has represented clients in high-profile matters around the world, including successfully defending Uruguay in a $4 billion investment arbitration and related set-aside proceedings before the Paris Court of Appeal and the French Court of Cassation. The Paris office is also a driving force in international commercial arbitration, including construction arbitration.

“Our Paris office is central to our cutting-edge work on behalf of sovereign States and global companies. This new space will enable us to grow and attract talent while continuing to provide our clients with local expertise and seamless cross-border coordination,” said Diana Paraguacuto-Mahéo, co-chair of the firm’s International Litigation and Arbitration Department and partner-in-charge of the Paris office.

Foley Hoag’s international arbitration practice is recognized worldwide and is co-chaired by Paraguacuto-Mahéo in Paris, Christina Hioureas in New York, and Constantinos Salonidis in Washington, D.C. In addition to its Public International Law practice, the firm’s International Arbitration practice handles complex, high-stakes disputes across investor-State and commercial matters.
