Fieldfisher has bolstered its Paris office with a trio of local lateral hires, including M&A lawyer Pascal Squercioni and tax specialist Antoine Gabizon from UGGC and competition partner Anne-Laure-Hélène des Ylouses from French boutique YGMA, a firm she co-founded in 2004.
Ylouses advises clients on competition law and unfair practices, merger controls and lobbying. She set up YGMA with regulatory lawyer Anne-Solène Gay, the only remaining partner at that firm, after the pair departed Bird & Bird to launch the boutique a decade ago. Ylouses has also spent stints at Vogel & Vogel and Stibbe’s Paris office, which in 2001 merged with US firm Latham and Watkins. She handles litigation before national regulation authorities and the European Commission.
