Avocat à la Cour, Jérôme heads the regulatory and competition law practice group at Freshfields
Paris. He represents clients in all areas of EU and French competition law, including follow-on or
stand-alone claims before courts. He also advises clients in all regulatory issues, both in traditionally
regulated sectors and on cross-sector regulatory issues such as foreign investment control, privacy
and data security, quality and safety issues, consumer law and investigations. As an alumnus of the
French Ecole Polytechnique and with a PhD from the Toulouse School of Economics, Jérôme
combines scientific, economic and legal backgrounds, which makes him often involved in cases
requiring a combination of legal and economic analyses.
Jérôme was previously head of the office of
concentrations and state aid at the DGCCRF, then in charge of French merger control and
representing France before the European institutions in EU merger control and State aid matters. He
is still a regular guest speaker at conferences organised by the regulators.
