TERRILLON AVOCATS was founded in Paris in 1994 by Patrick Terrillon, a Frenchman who has been fascinated with Poland since the start of his career, when the country was opening itself up to Europe. Since its creation, TERRILLON AVOCATS has sought to successfully support their Clients, to give them confidence in their legal operations, to provide specialist advice and the highest standards of cooperation.

The Firm’s attorneys regularly assist companies with direct investment and with purchasing and acquiring companies located in France.

Sailing and offshore racing enthusiasts
Patrick Terrillon, the founder of the Firm, is a big fan of sailing. With a transatlantic crossing in a TS 52 Catamaran already under his belt, he is keen to help skippers surpass themselves in the constant search for the best performance and results. This passion for sailing is reflected in the dynamism of our Firm, where we constantly seek to surpass ourselves in order to support, protect and defend the interests of our Clients.
