In January 2016, in the heart of the French capital, Anne Lucchini, Lise Marchal and Jean-Philippe Berthet founded BLM Avocats as a focused, dynamic and independent boutique law firm. The firm's philosophy and organisation ensures a close working relationship with clients, enabling its lawyers to handle matters with availability and flexibility. The partners' broad experience brings with it high standards allied with creativity and a spirit of enterprise. The accumulation over time of their clients' trust and confidence means the firm is also called upon to advise on strategic transactions or sensitive disputes or other matters. The firm has developed close ties with other independent French firms with complementary areas of expertise, as well as a wide network of foreign firms, enabling it to advise clients on wide-ranging and multi-jurisdictional matters.
