CMS Cameron McKenna’s French ally has bagged high-profile Paris lawyer Yves Huyghe de Mahenge as an external adviser following his retirement from Dewey & LeBoeuf earlier this year.

De Mahenge will serve as a senior adviser to CMS Bureau Francis Lefebvre’s three partner management board, which comprises firm chairman Pierre-Sebastien Thill, managing director Didier Gingembre and M&A partner Philippe Rosenpick.
