Dear Alumni,

The LSE France Association & the Harvard Club of France are happy to invite you to a luncheon conference with Laurent Cohen-Tanugi, international lawyer and author of numerous influential books on transatlantic relations, European affairs and globalisation.

A former member of Cleary Gottlieb and Skadden Arps, Mr Cohen-Tanugi is the founder and managing partner of Laurent Cohen-Tanugi Avocats, a boutique international law firm specializing in strategic assignments. From 2007 to 2008, he chaired a governmental task force on Europe’s strategy in the global economy for the French presidency of the European Union.

He has often participated in governmental commissions reflecting on diverse policy issues, such as the justice system and the intangible economy. He is a visiting lecturer on Cross-Border Mergers & Acquisitions at Stanford Law School.  Mr Cohen-Tanugi is an alumnus of the Ecole normale supérieure, SciencesPo and Harvard Law School.

Mr Cohen-Tanugi will present his new book, “What’s wrong with France?” (Grasset, 2015), in which he argues that the reason why France has so many difficulties adapting to globalisation is essentially because the pillars of its past excellence and identity are specifically challenged by it. Therefore, France should not just reform, but try to “reinvent” itself… 

When: 25^th March, 2015 – 12h30-14h30h (please be on time)
Where: Café Le Procope, 13 rue de l’Ancienne Comédie, 75006 (Metro Odéon)
Cost:  44,80 Euros for ALSE & HCF members (lunch will be served !)

Mr Cohen-Tanugi’s book will be available for sale during the talk.

As seats for this event are limited, please register as soon as possible by contacting Olivier Marty (oliviermarty@hotmail.com) and pay 44,80 EUR here :
