Introduction to the Law Practice


The law practice ZIEGENFEUTER GAETJENS SABER (ZGS) is issued from the reorganization of the former law firm WGZ & ASSOCIATES, established in Paris with offices in Nice and Lyon since 1992.

ZGS is a law firm primarily geared towards an international clientele, since its partners as well as most of its associates received a dual school / university education and professional training both in France and in another country. All our lawyers are trilingual.

ZGS’s clientele is foreign to a large extent, consisting especially of companies and individuals from the German-speaking (Germany, Austria and Switzerland / Liechtenstein) and English-speaking worlds (UK, USA, Canada), as well as from the Middle East.

Our practice is essentially geared towards the business world, but also handles cases for individual clients, including labor law, international estate law and international inheritance law.

ZGS has an important labor department specialized in handling cases on behalf of:

– Medium and large size firm
– Works councils of international companies
– Executives.

Our firm has offices in three major French cities: Paris, Lyon and Nice, which enables it to be close to its clients.

Our firm is also present in the United States, through its offices in New York City.

ZGS is a member firm of CONSULEGIS, an international network of law firms which includes more than 1,600 lawyers located in over 40 countries.
