Anne Lapierre named in inaugural Women’s Power List
Recognition | March 14, 2017
Anne Lapierre, partner and head of head of energy, Norton Rose Fulbright, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), has been included in the prestigious international Women’s Power List Top 100 for her achievements and influence within the energy industry. Anne Lapierre is ranked 52nd in the report and 2nd among seven other lawyers featuring in the list.
The report is the first of its kind, with rankings compiled by A Word About Wind’s editorial team, in collaboration with a senior advisory board, and energy finance specialist Green Giraffe. The list, which promotes and celebrates the contributions of female deal-makers and power brokers shaping the wind industry’s development, was launched in London on March 7th to coincide with International Women’s Day today.
Anne Lapierre commented:
“I am honoured to be included in this list among my talented peers. It is important that women’s contributions to the energy sector are recognised in this way. Whilst the sector is becoming more inclusive, there needs to be continued effort in promoting the skills and experience of women to those already in the profession - as well as encouraging a new generation of women to the sector.”
Anne Lapierre leads Norton Rose Fulbright’s EMEA team from Paris and co-heads the Casablanca office. She has been involved in numerous innovative and first-in-country projects across France, North Africa, and sub-Saharan francophone Africa, and has gained particular experience of solar and wind power projects. Anne advises developers and industrial clients as well as investment funds and banks and is recognised by all French and foreign market players.

She has been a board member of France Energie Eoliennen (FEE), France’s main wind energy trade organisation for the past 9 years [where she sits with members from major energy, financial and legal companies]. Anne is ranked Band 1 in Chambers and Partners for France, Energy and Natural Resources.
