Ashurst has strengthened its French projects practice with the hire of Orrick Rambaud Martel finance partner Sylvie Perrin.

Perrin, who joined the French arm of the City firm on Monday (16 April), focuses on project finance as well as asset finance and tax leasing. Prior to joining legacy firm Rambaud Martel – which merged with San Francisco giant Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe in January 2006 – Perrin was an associate with Watson Farley & Williams. She was admitted to the Paris Bar in 1997.
