Dentons strengthens its Debt Capital Markets practice in Paris with the arrival of partner Soline Louvigny

Paris-Dentons announces the arrival of Soline Louvigny as a partner in Debt Capital Markets (DCM) and associate Alicia Ghislain in the Banking & Finance practice in Paris. This appointment strengthens Dentons' capital markets capabilities in France, complementing the firm's well-established DCM teams in Europe, the US, the UK, and the rest of the world, and is part of the firm's ongoing development of its integrated European platform.

With more than 15 years of experience in Debt Capital Markets, Soline advises financial institutions, insurers, and corporates on a wide range of debt securities, including vanilla and structured bonds, bonds eligible for regulatory capital (CRR/Solvency II), and ESG issuances (green bonds, social bonds, and sustainability-linked bonds). She regularly works on EMTN programs, standalone issues and private placements, as well as debt repurchase transactions (liability management) and bondholders' consultations (consent solicitations). Soline also has solid experience in regulatory issues related to debt securities (particularly benchmark and ESG regulations).

Soline joins a strengthened Banking & Finance practice in Paris. Her arrival is accompanied by the recruitment of Alicia Ghislain as an associate. This momentum follows the recent arrival of partner Vincent Danton and his associate Yann Le Puil, who are in charge of securitization and structured finance, as well as the promotion of Meryll Aloro to partner specializing in fund financing, and that of Philippine de Fouchier to counsel in 2025. All of these developments offer clients a cross-functional and structured Banking & Finance platform in Paris.

"Soline's arrival is an important step in the ongoing development of our Capital Markets practice in Paris and Europe," said Pascal Schmitz, Managing Partner of Dentons' Paris office. "Combined with recent strategic moves within our Banking & Finance team, her expertise in regulatory capital, ESG-related issuances, and complex structured issuances will further strengthen our ability to support our clients on sophisticated DCM transactions across our global platform."

"Soline brings highly complementary skills to our Banking & Finance team in Paris, particularly in the area of capital markets, and she joins a practice that we have recently significantly strengthened," adds Jean-Marc Allix, Head of Banking & Finance at Dentons Paris. "We have a comprehensive Banking & Finance offer that can meet all of our clients' needs and is fully integrated with our teams in London, New York, and other major financial centers."

"I am delighted to be joining Dentons' Banking & Finance team in Paris," said Soline Louvigny. "The firm's international reach and collaborative capital markets platform provide an ideal platform to support clients in their most sophisticated Debt Capital Markets and sustainable finance transactions, both in France and across the Dentons network."
