Héla Menif

I am an associate in the Dispute Resolution department of the Paris office, focusing on civil and commercial litigation.

I advise clients on business litigation matters involving corporate law, contractual and tort liability and post-acquisition disputes, while also handling pre-litigation and settlement proceedings.

I joined Bird & Bird's Paris office in 2025, having worked for three years at a top-tier French law firm and completed traineeships at both renowned international law firms and other institutions, including a bank and the French Supreme Court.

My complementary expertise stems from both business and legal education: a Master's in Management from ESSEC Business School, a Master's in Litigation, Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution from Université Paris II Panthéon-Assas, and a Master's in Business Law from Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne.

I have taught business litigation and business law courses at ESSEC Business School and have co-authored publications, including the 2021 report on mediation before the French Supreme Court.
