After being admitted to practice law in 1965 and holding the post of special consultant to Edgard Pisani, Minister in charge of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Daniel Soulez Larivière, appointed as the second secretary of the Conférence du Stage in 1968, formed his own firm in 1969. In 1977, he entered into a partnership with his colleague, Patrick Perroux, now deceased.
In 1980, a third lawyer joined the firm, and the number of lawyers then gradually increased to reach its present size.
Simon Foreman joined the firm in 1988, after spending two years working for Lyon-Caen, lawyers before the Cour de Cassation (France’s supreme court for civil and criminal matters). He became a partner in 1993.
Chantal Bonnard also worked for Lyon-Caen between 1984 and 1990, before joining the firm.
Mauricia Courrégé joined the firm in January 1992, after working for three years for Angelo Boccara, a specialist in financial law.
They both became partners in 1998.
After joining the firm as an associate in 2004, Astrid Mignon Colombet became the fifth partner at Soulez Larivière & Associés on January 2011.
Today, the team is made up of both partners and associates who enrich the firm with their opinions and skills.
The firm’s work has strongly changed since it was founded. Apart from the famous criminal cases handled by the firm since 1969, such as the Red Orchestra case representing Léopold Trepper, for a period of around ten years, the firm’s work was focused on standard commercial disputes and real estate and construction law. At the end of this period, the work carried out by the firm became significantly more diversified.
