Philippe Logak, 47, joins Gide from the Thales group, where he acted as General Secretary between 2013 and 2015.
A member of the French Council of State (Maître des requêtes au Conseil d’Etat), a graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique (1992) and the Ecole nationale supérieure des Mines de Paris (1995), Philippe Logak began his career at the French MoD’s general delegation for armaments (Délégation Générale pour l’Armement). He then joined the Council of State (Conseil d’Etat) as rapporteur within the home affairs and dispute resolution sections (1999-2003). After practising as a lawyer within Bredin Prat (2003-2005), he was then appointed as deputy director in public and international law within the Legal Affairs Department of the French Ministry for Economy, Finance and Industry (2005-2007), before being called up in 2007 to serve as legal counsel in the cabinet of the then Minister of Economy, Finance and Industry, Mrs Christine Lagarde. He was then appointed as deputy director of the Minister of Justice cabinet (2008-2009), before joining SFR as General Secretary from 2010 to 2013.

His previous experience and in-depth knowledge of the various challenges faced by public sector companies and major international corporations will be precious assets in the service of our clients.”
Philippe Logak adds: “I am very happy to be joining Gide. The excellent reputation of the Public and Administrative Law department, as well as the firm’s multidisciplinarity, mean that we can offer the best possible advice to publicly funded companies on their operations and on complex regulatory issues. The firm’s strong international dimension will also give me the opportunity to counsel major industrial and service corporations as part of their continued development.”
