Mr Pierre-François Ozanne, Lawyer

Pierre-François Ozanne has been a member of the Paris bar since February 1999 and he joined Hugues Bouget’s firm in 2016, after five years working independently.

With a degree in private and business law (Master’s in business and tax law from Panthéon-ASSAS University) and a DEA in business law from Paris XIII University, he worked as an associate for a variety of firms for 10 years, including 8 years with SCP Duclos, Thorne, Mollet-Vieville (Paris 8th arrondissement), which enabled him to build up solid experience in commercial law, contract law and employment law in particular, as well as a good understanding of legal and enforcement procedures.
