Paris — January 19, 2006 — Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP is pleased to announce the addition of Thierry Dalmasso to the firm. The first litigation partner to join the firm in Paris, Mr. Dalmasso adds an international element to a growing and prestigious national white collar practice. Mr. Dalmasso joins Morgan Lewis from leading French firm Rambaud Martel and brings with him senior associates Ludovic Malgrain and Alain Salgado and junior associate Aline Bourcereau-Rouzin.
"Thierry is an internationally renowned litigator who will lead the expansion of our Litigation Practice in Paris," said Morgan Lewis Chair Francis M. Milone.
Mr. Dalmasso is well recognized in the French legal market as a premier advocate and litigator. Both The Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners have ranked him at the highest levels, with Chambers describing him as "a leading specialist in the white-collar crime field." He has also been ranked as one of the leading experts in white collar crime by the French equivalent of The American Lawyer, Décideurs Stratégie Finance et Droit. Décideurs notes that not only is Thierry one of only two lawyers recognized as the leading white collar crime practitioners, he is one of the only practitioners in Paris who focuses solely on high-profile white collar crime cases. In addition to his impressive case load, Mr. Dalmasso is utilized by French industry and media as a high-profile legal expert, appearing regularly on French television and interviewed by the French national press on other highly contentious media-intensive cases. His services are also in demand at conferences on white-collar crime.
The addition of Mr. Dalmasso brings the total number of Chambers-ranked partners in the Morgan Lewis Paris office to five and enhances the multi-jurisdictional practice there, allowing the office to manage litigation and white collar matters in-house. Morgan Lewis offers premier practices internationally to assist clients with matters related to litigation, business and finance, labor law, tax law and antitrust issues.
Mr. Dalmasso is a graduate of the Paris Sorbonne-Panthéon University and the Paris Institute of Judicial Studies. He has been a member of the Paris bar since 1985.
