We work hard to make sure our workplace is collaborative and promote positive relationships through regular team-building events and initiatives
that allow us to listen to each other
and share ideas.

Fieldfisher Paris has a strong focus on supporting our community through pro bono work and fundraising for charity organisations, thanks to the dedication of Counsel Mathilde Razou and Alexandra Moulinneuf from our Marketing team. We are especially proud of having raised €19,000 for Main dans la Main et Solidaires as part of our One Firm Action activities, helping to finance the renovation of the general paediatrics wing of the Necker hospital in Paris.

Managing Partner, France

In 2023, we made considerable progress in structuring our ESG plan, thanks to the support of all the members of our office.

Under the leadership of Partner Marie-Léonie Vergnerie, we collectively drafted an ESG Charter, setting out our commitments and in line with the firm's values. Its practical application will be reviewed annually, as part of our continuous improvement efforts.

This year, for the first time, I included ESG as a topic in the yearly interviews I have with everyone in our Paris office.

This resulted in many constructive ideas and led to the formation of an ESG committee composed of both fee earners and business services staff.

It meets once a month and tracks progress, brainstorms indicators for the practical application of our ESG Charter, and organises awareness campaigns.

We also conducted our first carbon audit at the beginning of 2023 and took several measures to reduce the environmental impact of our office, with outstanding commitment from our Office Manager, Cindy Guilleret.

In June 2023, the Paris office invested in replacing the whole lighting system with LED, which has led to our electricity consumption dropping by a third compared to last year, even though our headcount has increased. Cindy and her team follow up closely on our carbon-footprint indicators and are structuring ESG criteria for the selection of our suppliers with support from Marie-Léonie.

Main dans la Main et Solidaires is a fantastic association supporting hospitalised children and their families, to which Partner Nathalie Hadjadj-Cazier has been providing both volunteer time and pro bono support for several years.
