Fréget Glaser & Associés

What Fréget Glaser & Associés does

Fréget Glaser & Associés is a Paris-based French law firm structured as an association d'avocats à responsabilité professionnelle individuelle, founded in 2021 by Olivier Fréget (formerly partner and co-head of the Global Competition Law Group at Allen & Overy LLP) and Emmanuel Glaser (formerly a 14-year member of the Conseil d'État and partner at Veil Jourde). The firm concentrates on EU and French competition law (cartels, abuses of dominant position, damages claims, merger control), sectoral economic regulation, and public economic law, with a particular focus on regulated industries — telecommunications, energy, media and broadcasting, pharmaceuticals, and transport. It serves both large corporate clients and public operators/government entities, representing them before French and European competition authorities, sectoral regulators, and courts. Service delivery is organized around three modules: tailor-made legal strategy, global representation before national and European authorities, and an optimized risk-prevention offering built around audits, compliance programs, and an external partner network of economists and experts.

The firm is entirely practitioner-owned and managed by its founding and equity partners, with no external institutional investment, and operates as a professional services partnership rather than a technology platform. Its revenue model is fee-for-service / quote-based, consistent with French legal practice, and pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market relies on professional reputation, referrals within the legal and corporate community, thought-leadership publications (including a book by Olivier Fréget), press coverage in outlets such as Décideurs Magazine, and academic affiliations at Sciences Po, Paris II, Paris V, Rennes, and Paris-Dauphine. Distribution is direct client engagement by partners from a single Paris office (7 rue Royale, 75008 Paris), with practice reach extending across Europe before French and EU institutions.

The firm has approximately 15 practitioners and support staff, with a roster that includes partners Liliana Eskenazi (ex-Allen & Overy, EU competition/state aid), Sandrine Perrotet (ex-Veil Jourde/Darrois Villey, regulated sectors), Florence Bernigard (tax), Antoine Labaeye (energy litigation, TotalEnergies mandate), and Elsa Thauvin (ex-Darrois Villey Maillot Brochier, competition), supported by associates and an office manager. It was recognized by Best Lawyers in 2022 within its first full operating year. No AI/technology product, funding events, M&A activity, or geographic expansion outside Paris and European forums have been disclosed.
