Nicolas says he is glad that he took the courses to build a business background, though, because having this knowledge has allowed him to understand his clients’ needs better. Knowing the constraints felt by bankers, accountants and other stakeholders has aided him in his dealings with a variety of clients, helping him to negotiate and arrive at the best solution for all involved.
Nicolas enjoys working in the Firm’s Paris office, not only because he is a big fan of French bistros and organizing wine tastings, but also because of the office’s smaller size and close-knit working environment: “Teamwork is easy and everything is very efficient. I think clients notice that there is collective confidence among us.” As a partner, Nicolas says he has developed a long-term perspective that includes a professional and personal investment in the Firm.
