Taylor Wessing French partner, Paul-Albert Iweins, elected President of the National Bar Council

Paul-Albert Iweins, former Chairman of the Paris Bar, has been elected President of the National Bar Council (Conseil National des Barreaux).

Paul-Albert joined Taylor Wessing in France as a partner in July 2004, leading the Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice.

Arnaud de Senilhes, Managing Partner of Taylor Wessing in France, comments:

"Taylor Wessing is delighted to learn of Paul-Albert Iweins’ appointment to the presidency of the National Bar Council. Setting up Taylor Wessing in France, we wanted to make a contribution to the life of our profession at the highest level. We are both French and International, advisors and litigators. Our firm’s model does position us as one of the most promising for legal professional development. We wish Paul-Albert every success in this important representative role, which forces proposals and answers simultaneously, as he likes to say. Taylor Wessing in France is equally proud to count Alain de Foucaud, another of its partners, as a member of the National Bar Council."

Paul-Albert Iweins comments:

"A litigator within a law firm practicing commercial law with a European vision is somehow a perfect summing up of what the French Bar is today"
