Aélita Jacob — Business Law Attorney and Outsourced Legal Department in Paris
Legal excellence, business vision.
Former Group General Counsel, I support companies, executives and in-house legal teams in securing their projects, negotiating their contracts and managing their risks.
20+ years at the heart of companies
Before joining the Paris Bar, I spent over twenty years within French and international groups as a legal counsel, Group Legal Manager and then Group General Counsel.
This experience gave me the opportunity to work in multicultural and cross-border environments, alongside executive boards, operational teams and partners in Europe, the UK, the US, China, Brazil, Morocco and Russia.
Today, it allows me to quickly grasp my clients' operational, financial and strategic issues, and to propose pragmatic, secure and immediately actionable legal solutions.
I work on both one-off matters and long-term engagements — in particular as an outsourced legal department: peak-load support, transition during a hire, structuring the legal function, coordinating outside counsel, and coaching operational teams.
