Thomas Perrot comments on his move, “Skadden’s outstanding international tax profile, coupled with its leading M&A and finance practices, offers an unparalleled platform. I am very excited to be joining the team.”

Armand Grumberg, head of Skadden’s Paris office, said, “We are delighted that Thomas is joining us. His in-depth knowledge and experience in complex tax matters is a perfect fit for our office and our different practices, and he will add great value for our clients.”
