His addition is an exciting step in the continued expansion of our offering in France, and we are delighted to welcome him to the firm.”

“Romain’s market knowledge and technical skills across equity and debt capital markets add depth to our global capabilities,” said Edwin O’Connor, co-chair of Goodwin’s capital markets practice. “He is a great addition to our platform.”

Querenet de Breville advises companies and financial institutions on initial public offerings and equity, equity-linked, and debt offerings. He also provides guidance on cross-border transactions involving listed companies, and counsels issuers on corporate governance matters.
