Bruzzo Dubucq announces the appointment of four new partners: Vanille Launay (Litigation), Mathis Campestrin (Economic warfare), Mathieu Couvé (Restructuring and insolvency) and Antoine Maniglier (Tax). The firm thus grows from 8 to 12 partners. A significant milestone, which reflects the strengthening of four strategic practice groups and illustrates the firm’s DNA, founded on merit, team spirit and excellence.
These four appointments mark a turning point for the Aix-en-Provence firm, which now has some thirty lawyers.
The four new partners, steeped in the Bruzzo Dubucq culture, have considerable experience within the firm. Their promotion to partnership demonstrates the firm’s commitment to developing talent internally, rewarding each individual’s personal commitment and upholding loyalty as a core value of the business.
A milestone that also marks the development of Bruzzo Dubucq around four key departments.
Mathis Campestrin now co-heads the Economic warfare practice, a field in which Bruzzo Dubucq has established itself over the past 10 years through high-profile cases with major financial stakes, such as Orpea, Shein and Booking.
Within the Litigation department, Vanille Launay continues her practice in complex commercial disputes.
Antoine Maniglier, for his part, strengthens the Tax department, where he works mainly on tax litigation, drawing on the experience he gained at leading international firms.
Finally, Mathieu Couvé continues to build up the Restructuring and insolvency practice, one of Bruzzo Dubucq’s longstanding areas of expertise.
Recognised in French and international rankings, Bruzzo Dubucq enjoys well-established technical recognition. This expertise goes hand in hand with a capacity for innovation that the firm has cultivated for more than ten years through the development of secure in-house tools, designed to automate day-to-day tasks and to support the most complex litigation on a European scale.
“We are proud to welcome four new partners to the firm. We have known Vanille, Antoine, Mathis and Mathieu for a long time; all of them first gained experience with the firm when they were still students. They were trained at the firm and have been involved in projects that have shaped our development. They embody the culture of our firm: intensity, loyalty, camaraderie. Their promotion to partnership was a natural step. It allows us to continue our development in a measured and organic way, so as to support our clients on ever more complex matters, in France and internationally.”
