Addleshaw Goddard is pleased to announce the appointment of Jérémie Paubel as a Partner to lead its Paris Employment team, further strengthening the firm’s growing presence in France and its international employment law capabilities.

Member of the Paris bar, Jérémie has more than twenty years of experience and joins from Baker McKenzie, where he spent more than fifteen years, advising international companies and multinational groups. His experience spans a broad range of sectors, with a specific focus on financial services and pharmaceuticals, and with a strong track record supporting clients on complex European and global projects.

He brings specialist expertise in standalone employment matters, with a strong focus on reorganization projects and collective redundancies. He is also highly regarded for his work on the employment aspects of corporate transactions.

In addition to his client work, Jérémie actively contributes to the legal community through teaching and speaking engagements. 

He will be joined by an associate, Adrien Leberon, and will work with the current Paris employment team, forming the initial core of the expanding practice.

Jérémie Paubel, Partner at Addleshaw Goddard, commented:

“I am delighted to be joining Addleshaw Goddard and to help develop the employment practice in Paris. I was draw to the opportunity to lead and develop the practice in an entrepreneurial environment, as part of a dynamic and growing full-service firm, with an extensive international network”.

Julien Bacus, Head of the Paris Office and Partner at Addleshaw Goddard, added:

"We are very pleased to welcome Jérémie to the firm. His sector knowledge, cross border experience, and expertise in standalone employment matters are a perfect match with AG. It strengthens our ability to support French and international businesses with deep sector insight, at a time when clients are operating in an increasingly complex regulatory and commercial environment. His arrival reinforces the momentum behind our international, integrated platform and aligns closely with the ambitions of our AG2030 strategy, which focuses on expanding our international reach and delivering greater impact for clients across our key sectors.”

The appointment comes as Addleshaw Goddard marks the fifth anniversary of its Paris office, celebrating a period of sustained growth and an increasingly prominent position in one of Europe’s key markets.

Jérémie’s hire follows a series of recent partner additions to the Employment team, including Paul McGrath in Leeds, Anya Duncan in Aberdeen and Ingrid McGhee in Glasgow, alongside the launch of the firm’s Warsaw office in 2025, reflecting the team’s continued expansion across the UK and its growing international presence in Europe
