Marielle Terrier and Marie Pfyffer d’Altishofen both began their careers and honed their legal skills working in large corporations /or law firms.
Thanks to this experience, they acquired:
• The ability to engage in effective teamwork;
• A demanding work ethic and a client-centered approach;

The legal profession and market have changed.
Lawyers are now clearly seen as business partners whose legal expertise supports the business functions of their clients. Their role is to support their clients in the decision-making process, by providing them with informed advice and a secure framework.
The legal expertise and specialist knowledge required in today’s world is increasingly honed.
Lawyers need to adapt to and be integrated in the business function.
Marie Pfyffer d’Altishofen was admitted to practice by the Paris Bar in 2006, after having earned a Master 2 in Real Estate and Construction Law from Paris II Panthéon Assas University (2003) and a Master 2 in Internal Public Law from Paris II Panthéon Assas University (2004).
After having initially worked at two law firms, primarily focused on urban planning and construction law serving public or semi-public sector clients, Marie joined the real estate department of Reinhart Marville Torre law firm as an associate.

Robert Badinter and his speech about the death penalty, as well as other, « less prominent » attorneys who, through their sense of humor and passion, led me to adopt this calling.
The lawyers with whom I completed my first internship in a business law firm provided me with the opportunity to explore the world of mergers and acquisitions and understand the role of a business lawyer in these transactions.
The pride of belonging to a profession which is essential to society.
No superhero is able to do what I do!
Pugnacity
Rigor
The sometimes sleepless nights that can precede a closing…
I appreciate the diversity of issues, transactions, and clients that are part of our daily lives, making this profession exciting.
