No sector can remain indifferent to the aggression against Ukraine. Least of all the legal sector. All the law firms of the European Law Group stand with Ukraine in its fight for its freedom and sovereignty.

Paulhan & Associés hosted the European Law Group’s 2025 autumn semi-annual meeting in Paris. Highlights included discussions on strengthening cross-border collaboration and referrals, updates on ELG’s marketing and digital initiatives, sub-group activities across key practice areas, and a keynote presentation on European defence cooperation, alongside cultural and networking events.
