“I am delighted to welcome Romain Picard as partner in charge of the corporate – M&A practice. Following the opening of our Aix-en-Provence office, this addition demonstrates the dynamism and continued growth of Arst Avocats. We are thus complementing our full-service offering with essential expertise for the benefit of our clients,” said Morgan Jamet, founding partner.
