Our vision of the lawyer's work by your side

Cloix Mendès-Gil supports private and public players in their strategic projects, sensitive situations and complex disputes. Companies, local authorities, institutions or entrepreneurs: we work at the heart of your challenges, with a comprehensive, operational approach.

We are a partner of private initiative and public action

We support companies, financial players, mixed-economy and social-economy structures, as well as the State and local authorities. This dual public/private culture allows us to understand your constraints and provide solutions suited to interlocking environments.

We approach advice, litigation and mediation as a single whole

We combine expertise in public and private law to handle each situation as a whole. Anticipating risks, structuring projects, securing decisions and managing disputes: our goal is to choose the most effective strategy to defend your interests.

We work according to a proven method

A lead partner steers each case and coordinates a team suited to your needs. We build mediation in as a strategic lever to preserve relationships, control costs and speed up resolutions, whenever it is relevant to do so.

We place mediation at the heart of our strategies

We place mediation at the heart of our strategies to foster effective, level-headed solutions. Led by partner-mediators in public and private law, it helps preserve relationships and control costs and timeframes. Far more than an alternative, it is a strategic tool we use with rigour.
