Franck Lagorce resigns from Winston & Strawn to join Pinsents in Paris

Franck Lagorce joins Pinsent Masons’ Paris office from Winston & Strawn, where he was a partner.

He has nearly 30 years’ experience advising institutional investors, pension funds, investment funds and multinational corporations on a broad range of corporate tax matters. He has provided general tax advice on both direct and indirect tax matters and has a particular specialism relating to international taxation and the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) programme for change, in addition to extensive experience in the Real Estate investment arena. His arrival follows the appointment of fellow tax-specialist Eugenie Berthet, who specialises in advising Ultra High Net Worth and business owners, as partner to Pinsent Masons Paris office in 2013.

Arthur Lovitt, a Partner and Head of the Real Estate sector at Pinsent Masons commented “We are particularly glad to add Franck to the team. Tax structuring is critical to Funds investing in Real Estate. We have made significant headway in developing our credentials for real estate finance and structuring work across Pinsent Masons international network over the past 12 months, not least following the addition of Mark Leonard to our team in Munich as a partner towards the end of 2014.”
