Langlois Kronström Desjardins in Paris

On October 18, William Hart, partner in the Montréal office of Langlois Kronström Desjardins, organized a forum in Paris on “Montréal and International Finance” for his client, the International Financial Centre – Montréal (IFC Montréal) in collaboration with the Canadian Embassy in Paris, the France-Canada Chamber of Commerce and the networks of two French “grandes écoles”, Essec and the Ecole centrale. Langlois Kronström Desjardins was the only law firm involved in this initiative.

The event took place at the Cercle de l’Union interalliée, one of the most prestigious clubs in Paris. Some 80 participants attended two morning workshops, which essentially highlighted the attractiveness of Montreal for businesses involved in international financial transactions, particularly because of the programs of IFC Montréal.

Some 140 participants then attended a luncheon conference hosted by Jacques Attali, a well-known figure in French political, economic and intellectual circles. Langlois Kronström Desjardins’ name was mentioned repeatedly during the forum.

The following day, Raynold Langlois and Jean Patrick Dallaire gave a CLE video presentation on leadership to some 20 members of the association of Quebec lawyers in Paris, at the Paris office of Dewey Leboeuf. The course was greatly appreciated by all in attendance and was followed by a lengthy question period moderated in situ by William Hart.
