JOFFE & ASSOCIÉS ANNOUNCES THE APPOINTMENT OF PADDY PASCOT AS COUNSEL

Joffe & Associés is pleased to announce the promotion of Paddy Pascot to Counsel within its Corporate team. This promotion reflects the firm’s development strategy based on internal advancement, a key pillar of its growth model, and highlights its ability to nurture and retain talent. The Corporate team currently comprises 14 lawyers, including 5 partners, 2 counsels, 7 associates, and 1 paralegal.

Having been with the firm for nearly ten years, Paddy’s practice covers both Private Equity and M&A transactions. He advises and assists investment funds and companies in carrying out complex operations, including fundraisings, group restructurings, acquisitions, and disposals. Paddy has also developed strong expertise in the media and entertainment sectors, which he actively helps structure within the firm alongside Véronique Dahan and Romain Soiron.

Paddy Pascot holds a Master’s degree in Business Law, specializing in M&A and financing, from the University of Évry Val d’Essonne, and has been a member of the Paris Bar since January 2017.

Led by five partners—Virginie Belle, Camille Malbezin, Aymeric Dégremont, Christophe Joffe, and Thomas Saltiel, the Corporate team at Joffe & Associés has established itself in just a few years as a key player in mid-cap transactions. With a 15-member team, it represents a major force among independent French law firms in Paris.

The Corporate team has recently advised on several significant transactions, including: Demeter on its investment in Allergen Alert, Socadif Capital Investissement on its investment in Yogurt Factory and One Prepaid on the entry of ISAI and ISATIS Capital into its shareholding.

“The promotion of Paddy to Counsel is a natural recognition of his expertise, commitment to our clients, and contribution to the development of our Corporate practice and our work in the media and entertainment sectors. Promoting talent from within is at the heart of our model,” said Partner Christophe Joffe.
