Truly enough, these former civil servants are the natural leaders of the “Public law, Compliance, Regulatory, and Competition departments that have proliferated in the past twenty years in Paris corporate law firms, and in the private sector they continue to assume the sectoral attributions they had in the public sectors. Interestingly, far from being shameful, their state experience is proudly put forward in their law firms’ webpages as it seems to attest to the strength of their track record; their state credentials are even often displayed on business cards that identify them as “attorney at law—former ENA graduate” or “attorney at law—former minister.”

In fact, these civil-servants-turned-lawyers do indeed maintain a degree of proximity with the administrative world, which in turn recognizes them as natural interlocutors and readily keeps the door open for them:

[being a former énarque] makes it easier for me to talk with the administration…. They know I am not a lawyer like the others. First of all, I will never try to hoodwink them, I will never talk misleading nonsense to them, and I will never do anything that is contrary to my convictions, and thirdly, I will always hold the public interest in the greatest respect. And those are things that people know, that they feel, and it can be useful. [The same person adds:] when I go to make a pitch, to advise the State or a local authority, I have a plus, not because I am a former public servant, but simply because people feel that I still have the sense of public service. (interview 14, man, Conseil d’État, ENA graduate, public law of business)
