With 50 multicultural and multilingual lawyers across six strategic Asian cities (Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, Singapore, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City), LPA Law is reinforcing its position as the leading French-speaking law firm in the region, offering in-depth local expertise combined with a global vision.

This initiative once again reflects the firm's determination, as a trusted partner, to support its clients in their cross-border investments and activities (Europe, Asia, and Africa) by ensuring maximum legal security, anticipating challenges, and addressing their needs with agility and excellence.

Frédéric Bailly, partner and managing partner of LPA Law, welcomes this strategic expansion:

"The opening of these new offices marks a key milestone in our development. Asia is a crucial region for our growth, and we are excited to strengthen our ties with our local clients and partners."

Arnaud Bourrut-Lacouture, co-managing partner in Singapore and now managing partner of the Vietnam offices, comments:

"Reuniting with my former Vietnamese colleagues is an incredible honour. Throughout my experiences in France and Singapore, I have maintained close ties with the APFL team. Taking on this new role, as the firm's representative in Vietnam, is a challenge I embrace with great enthusiasm."

Nicolas Audier, founder and former managing partner of APFL Partners, adds:

"I am delighted that APFL Partners is joining LPA Law. Over the years, APFL Partners has built a strong reputation as a leading international firm in Vietnam, recognized for its expertise in Commercial Arbitration, M&A, Real Estate, and more. I sincerely thank the entire APFL Partners team for their trust, dedication, and camaraderie. Special recognition goes to founding partners Bernadette Fahy and Nicolas Picard, as well as current partners Etienne Laumonier and Antoine Logeay. Now is the right time for me to pass the firm's leadership to the next generation."

Joining LPA Law will give APFL Partners access to a team of over 50 lawyers practicing in multiple jurisdictions across the region. This will ensure seamless support for its clients in Vietnam with their international investment projects and cross-border commercial activities.

This new addition marks a new milestone for LPA Law, which now has 14 offices worldwide and more than 270 lawyers and legal professionals.
