Transatlantic business: Strategic and legal insights for French–American relations

September 9, 2025

We hosted an exclusive discussion at the Hôtel Le Marois – France Amériques, featuring former US Senator Richard Burr (Former Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and current Principal Policy Advisor at DLA Piper), Mme la Députée Éléonore Caroit (Vice-President of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the National Assembly), Nicola Bonucci (Former GC of the OECD, member of the Board of the Basel Institute on Governance) and a panel of distinguished speakers from the United States and France.

This event brought together senior executives and industry leaders to discuss the strategic and legal considerations of transatlantic business in an evolving geopolitical landscape.

As the new Trump Administration introduces changes to foreign policy, trade, and enforcement priorities – and as the European Union revises its economic, industrial, and strategic direction – our speakers examined how these developments are affecting companies operating both in Europe and the United States, particularly French companies with United States exposure.

During the conversation, we explored:

• The geopolitical landscape and implications for United States–France relations
• The effects of new tariffs on business operations and investments in the United States
• Regulatory shifts in the United States and Europe affecting transatlantic business
• Trends in cross-border investigations and enforcement actions

This interactive discussion offered actionable insights and the opportunity to engage with senior policymakers and legal advisors.
