Signature Litigation has bolstered its recently launched Paris office with the appointment of Nicolas Brooke as a partner.
Nicolas, who officially joins on 20 May, comes to the firm from Société Générale where he serves as general counsel and global head of investigations and litigation. He brings with him extensive experience in internal investigations, white-collar crime, civil fraud, banking law and regulatory enforcement proceedings, both in France and internationally. His arrival brings the Paris partnership to four with a total of 12 lawyers, after launching in January.
Signature Litigation founding partner Graham Huntley commented: ‘We are delighted that Nicolas has decided to join Signature Litigation, and particularly so given his highly relevant experience and expertise focusing on litigation, regulatory and investigation work. He has advised on and managed several high stakes disputes, and fits in perfectly with our focus as well as our unique cooperative structure. Although based in our Paris office, Nicolas and the whole team in Paris will be working closely with our London team.’
Thomas Rouhette, co-founder and partner of the Paris office, added: ‘Nicolas has unrivalled experience in the management of internal investigations, which makes him stand out on the Paris market. The Signature Paris office is proud to welcome such a renowned expert, who will significantly strengthen our business litigation offering for our clients, who increasingly have to deal with international compliance issues.’
