Founded in 1972, DS Avocats reflects an extraordinary team adventure unfolding across four continents.

Forward-thinking and adventurous by nature, DS Avocats was among the first French law firms to open offices in jurisdictions that were still considered “emerging” at the time, but that are now true engines of the global economy and international transaction hubs.

DS Avocats was, in particular, the first French law firm to open an office in China in 1986. For more than 30 years, the firm has been building an experienced and perfectly bilingual team dedicated to supporting French and international clients enter the market and develop their businesses in China and Asia.

Committed to its strategy of being a global French law firm, DS Avocats continued to extend its practice to new regions, in particular North America (Canada) and South America (Argentina, Chile, Peru) as well as to Africa (Senegal), while reinforcing its presence in Europe (Spain, Germany, Italy, Belgium).
