Arnaud Peres joins directly from Davis Polk where he was a partner. He has one of the highest profiles possible for a French corporate specialist, including Carrefour and EDF as clients. Jean-Francois Louit, formerly of Davis Polk, comes over from Scotto & Associes where he was head of corporate M&A.
