backPARIS, March 31, 2025 – King & Spalding has recruited Delphine Guillotte, a finance lawyer, as a partner in its Paris office – becoming the second partner to join the practice in France this the past month.
Guillotte advises both French and international clients on a broad spectrum of financing matters (acquisition financing/LBO, corporate or leverage financing, credit facilities or bonds issues) and debt restructuring transactions. Guillotte is the second new partner for the firm’s Paris Finance and Restructuring practice group following on from Laurent Assaya, who joined last month (more details here).
“Delphine’s experience across a selection of premium financing mandates, coupled with her strong technical skills, further enhances our local and international practices and our ability to provide clients with cutting-edge financing advice,” said Laurent Bensaid, Office Managing Partner in Paris. “Her skillset adds more depth to our finance team and opens-up a variety of exciting opportunities for collaboration, including in areas such as M&A, private equity and restructuring. We are pleased to welcome her to the firm.”
Guillotte holds a PhD in private law and is a graduate of Rennes Sciences Po. Before joining King & Spalding, she was counsel in Bredin Prat’s Finance Practice.
“I have been impressed by both King & Spalding’s Finance & Restructuring Practice as well as the Paris office, which continue to go from strength-to-strength,” Guillotte added. “I’m pleased to join a dynamic finance team, renowned in acquisition finance. The firm’s strong US and UK platforms, particularly in private credit and funds finance, offer powerful synergies I look forward to be able to help contribute to that momentum with my French colleagues.”
