Paris Place de Droit

About us

In an increasingly global and multilateral world, the rule of law is a fundamental pillar of security and predictability in international trade and investment. States have long recognized the strategic importance of legal frameworks as tools of influence and economic attractiveness. In this competitive landscape of global legal hubs, France occupies a leading position by offering a legal environment that is both reliable and competitive for domestic and international businesses alike. The efficiency and independence of its institutions, combined with the cultural and technical diversity of its legal community, form a distinctive “French exception” among the world’s major legal centers.
As a promoter and defender of this singularity, Paris Place de Droit brings together the broader business law community around a shared ambition: positioning Paris as a central legal hub of the global economy. Academics, practitioners, judges, and institutions work collectively to enhance the attractiveness of the Paris legal market for investors and international trade actors. Drawing on a legal tradition that is inherently universal and open to the world, the association acts to ensure that Paris is recognized as a natural forum for global economic activity, dispute resolution, and the establishment of corporate headquarters.
