Jeantet asserts its “Defence and Security” expertise for Sovereign Industries

Jeantet, an independent business law firm based in France, has developed its own expertise team to support these strategic sectors. Its specialist lawyers have in-depth knowledge of the military world and sovereignty issues and are very familiar with the area of economic intelligence and the specific aspects of such cases including special authorisations.

The firm has structured its “Defence and Security” expertise through a cross-disciplinary team that draws on the firm’s key skills. The team includes managing partner Karl Hepp de Sevelinges, partners Xavier Pernot, Thomas Picot and Vincent Netter, and counsel Julia Bombardier and Adrien Fourmon.

The expert team is coordinated by Thomas Picot (IHEDN-SN67, reserve officer, teacher at the War School) and Xavier Pernot (founder and president of the IHEDN youth association).
