We advise companies in the industrial, banking, insurance, new technologies, consulting services, and medical or veterinary sectors.

Technical reliability, advice and responsiveness perfectly describe the team of lawyers’ input; they are always able to address an issue in a case or answer a specific question within a short period, even adapting to the urgent nature of the request while maintaining the level of detail, explanation and exchange required for informed decision making.

Testimonial
The Galion team, particularly Lionel Paraire, has been advising Soitec for more than five years on various matters relating to labour law and employment law. In addition, the firm assists the company on a regular basis with respect to labour court litigation. A real partnership developed over time, providing customised advice assessment of risk-taking and the different options available, especially from the legal angle but also from that of the company’s in-house realities and its corporate culture. Galion combines the responsiveness and complementarity advantages of a structured team with the customised relationship of a more “boutique”-like approach.
