"We are thrilled to welcome Victor to the firm," said Thomas Margenet-Baudry, Office
Managing Partner of Latham & Watkins in Paris. "Our Paris office is a powerhouse
in the French market, with exceptional strength across our transactional and regulatory
practices. Antitrust and competition is central to that success, an essential component
of our market-leading transactional and litigation platforms and a formidable go-
to practice. Victor brings deep experience in complex domestic and cross-border 
antitrust matters for French and international clients that complements our existing
strengths and further enhances the sophisticated, integrated advice we provide to
clients in France, across Europe, and globally. His arrival reflects our ambition
to continue investing in the very best talents and to remain at the forefront of
the market for years to come."

Latham’s Antitrust & Competition Practice is widely recognized as one of the world’s
premier antitrust platforms, delivering sophisticated, coordinated advice across
the United States, Europe, and Asia. The firm advises and represents clients on 
many of their most significant and complex global transactions, cartel investigations,
and disputes, combining deep antitrust experience with market-leading litigation
and trial capabilities. The Paris competition practice, like that of the Brussels
office, is ranked Band 1 / Tier 1 in the legal directories. The addition of Levy
further strengthens the firm’s European and Paris bench and enhances its ability
to guide clients through an increasingly complex and interconnected global competition
and regulatory landscape.

"The addition of Victor underscores the continued strength and momentum of our global
practice," said Lawrence Buterman, Global Chair of Latham’s Antitrust & Competition
Practice. "Our platform brings together leading antitrust lawyers across the United
States, Europe, and Asia who are increasingly called upon by our clients to lead
and coordinate representations on complex transactions and litigation matters spanning
multiple jurisdictions. Victor brings outstanding credentials and deep experience
that will further strengthen our ability to deliver integrated and global solutions
at the highest level."

"We have known Victor for many years and have long held him in the highest regard,"
said Jacques-Philippe Gunther, Antitrust & Competition partner in Paris. "He is 
definitely one of the best of his generation, and his unique combination of economic
and legal expertise makes him a real additional strength to our talented team."

Paris Antitrust & Competition partner, Adrien Giraud also commented: "Victor brings
extensive experience across merger control, foreign investment screening, antitrust
investigations, litigation, and State aid. At a time when antitrust and regulatory
considerations are playing a critical role in shaping strategic business decisions,
his arrival further enhances the breadth and depth of our offering in Paris."

"I am delighted to join Latham & Watkins in Paris, especially at this critical time
when competition authorities are becoming increasingly active and coordinated across
jurisdictions. The firm’s global platform and market-leading capabilities provide
an exceptional opportunity to help clients navigate their most complex matters,"
said Levy. "I look forward to working closely with the teams across practices and
geographies to further develop Latham’s antitrust and competition offering."
