French Administrative Law and Public Business Law are the first areas of expertise of my firm.
Public Law
French Administrative Law and Public Business Law were my majors at Sciences Po and at the University of Paris. This law firm’s breadth of experience in those areas is based on years of practice first as a legal intern in French administrations (Conseil d’Etat and Secrétariat Général de la Défense Nationale – SGDN) and in the Public Law departments of leading law firms in Paris (August & Debouzy, Baker & Mc Kenzie). Upon completion of my national/military service at the French Embassy in Taiwan, I started my career as a Junior Associate at leading Paris law firm Deprez Dian Guignot.
When acting in litigation for the private sector and for other actors, including private persons, Daniel Mugerin’s law firm deals with the substantive legal issues involved in government regulation and decision-making within a legal and strategic framework.

- civil service law and employment regimes, especially teachers’ law and military personnel’s law,
- infra-state community law,
