We are CGR

A law firm working alongside pioneers who believe, think and thrive to make a positive impact on the future of the economy and society.

Modern economies are at a turning point.

Due to environmental challenges and the pressing need to reconsider our old frames, European legislators have set a fundamental goal of our century: making carbon neutrality a reality. This goal, which is regarded necessary and universally urgent, has led to a genuine legal and regulatory 'Big Bang'.

Production is no longer the sole purpose of our economies. The challenge now lies in how we produce.

For over 20 years, we have been convinced of the importance of this paradigm shift. Our lawyers were among the first to grasp the full extent of this transformation, first and foremost in the energy sector, but also in other sectors… 

Today, this transition is no longer a niche practice: it is the common thread that runs through all our practices. It is the core business of our firm. 

Whether it’s energy, industry or social change, we believe that each transition calls for the creation of new business models, new risk maps and new reflexes in the face of unprecedented crises. To achieve this, our lawyers go beyond the role of legal experts to position themselves as facilitators of change.

The goal is clear: aligning the interests of private and public economic players over the long term to allow them to work together to meet the challenges of contemporary transitions.

Every day, we support our clients’ projects with our cross-disciplinary approach to law. Far from working in silos, we mobilise all our expertise to provide comprehensive support. 

Regardless of the issue at stake, we transform legal and regulatory constraints into new sustainable solutions, combining relevance and performance, and driving our practices forward.
