LSK and WSA merge to create new law firm
French law firms LSK and WSA have merged to create a new entity, Marvell Avocats.
LSK and WSA, both based in Paris, were established in 1988 and 1997 respectively. Marvell stated the merger stemmed from a close cultural and working relationship between the two firms, forged over shared assignments in the past, as well as potential practical synergies.
The new entity comprises 46 professionals, including 32 lawyers (nine partners, three counsels, one "of counsel", 19 associates) and an administrative team of 14.
The corporate finance team - which covers the areas of M&A, private equity and financial regulation - is composed of 11 lawyers, including four partners, one Counsel and six associates. Marvell also has separate labour, commercial and tax affairs teams.
