Alain Barois

Alain Barois has built an illustrious career in trademark law spanning more than four decades.

With a solid foundation laid by luminaries such as Professors André Françon and Albert Chavanne, Alain embarked on his academic journey, culminating in a thesis that delved into the intricate nexus between fraud and trademark law.  Following this scholarly achievement, he honed his legal acumen by practicing at a renowned Parisian law firm, where he garnered invaluable experience for five years.

Subsequently, Alain’s path led him to the legal department of a prominent agro-alimentary conglomerate, encompassing esteemed brands such as Générale Biscuit, LU, Heudebert, and L’Alsacienne. During his tenure, he emerged as the pivotal liaison between the corporation’s legal team and its dynamic marketing departments, affording him unparalleled insights into the specific needs of marketing stakeholders.

Harnessing this dual-faceted expertise, Alain embarked on a new chapter in March 1987, founding the esteemed firm A. Barois. Over the years, he has provided invaluable counsel to an extensive roster of clients, ranging from small and medium business enterprises (SMEs) to large multinational corporations with global operations.
