On 14 June 2012, BNP Paribas was named “Best Law Department in France” at the International General Counsels Awards.
This ceremony honours the best legal, financial and intellectual property departments for their overall performance.

The jury panel, made up of legal heads from large groups and lawyers, used various criteria to assess the ability of the teams to innovate and find new solutions while complying with the highest standards of the profession.

More than 100 groups took part in the competition. BNP Paribas' legal department, led by Georges Dirani, was chosen from a shortlist of five other French companies, a valuable distinction from within the sector.
