A member of Gide's Projects (Finance & Infrastructure) practice group, counsel Alix Deffrennes acts in the implementation of international projects, regardless of their form, with a particular focus on energy projects in Africa.
She has acquired specific experience in setting up electric power plants and other energy infrastructure projects, including integrated project such as Gas-to-Power projects and projects involving several States.
