Hogan Lovells Hires Seven-Strong Paris Baker McKenzie Team
Hogan Lovells in Paris has hired away a seven-person private equity team from Baker McKenzie led by two partners, adding strength in life sciences and technology to its private equity offering.
Matthieu Grollemund, co-head of Baker McKenzie’s corporate practice in France, joins as a partner along with Hélène Parent, a corporate partner, and five associates.
The team will concentrate on private equity deals in technology and life sciences, according to Hogan Lovells, which noted Grollemund and Parent’s background in buy-out funds, high-end growth or venture funds and family offices with significant private/public equity activity.
“Matthieu and Hélène’s reputation for excellence in technology and life sciences M&A aligns with the strengths of the firm, and our own focus on highly-regulated industries,” David Gibbons, global head of the corporate and finance practice at Hogan Lovells, said in a statement.
Grollemund joined Baker McKenzie in 2017 from Dechert, where he practiced for four years and led the corporate practice. He spent three years as a senior consultant at McKinsey & Co. from 2000 to 2003.
Parent also joined Baker McKenzie in 2017, where she was a member of Grollemund’s team. She was promoted to partner in July.
The hires bring Hogan Lovells’ Paris office to 130 lawyers, including 25 partners.
The firm has been adding to its private equity arsenal over the past year with partner hires in London, Shanghai, Frankfurt and the United States.
