Natasha Tardif

Natasha assists global leaders before EU and French courts and authorities (including the European Commission, the French Competition Authority, anti-kickback and anti-corruption authorities, and data privacy agencies).

She has particular experience in litigation, including unfair competition cases, unfair trading practices, and commercial litigation more broadly.

Natasha regularly secures significant reductions of fines imposed by enforcement agencies as well as the annulment of investigation measures. She represented a client in one of the rare cases of obstruction alleged by competition authorities, and successfully obtained before the French Constitutional Council a ruling of unconstitutionality – and therefore the abrogation – of a French legal provision sanctioning obstruction.

Natasha is a lecturer at the Paris and Abu Dhabi Sorbonne University, Queen Mary University, Seton Hall University School of Law, INSEAD, the University of Paris Cité, Paris II Assas, and Paris-Dauphine. She regularly publishes articles on topics related to various business sectors, gives interviews, and is frequently invited to speak at international conferences in the United States, London, Brussels, and Paris.

Natasha was awarded the International Bar Association’s Outstanding International Woman Lawyer Award for 2024. The prestigious award recognises those who have demonstrated excellence in their field and have influenced other women to pursue legal careers. She was also ranked in INvolve's Heroes Executive Role Model list in 2025.

Natasha previously served as the managing partner of Reed Smith's Paris office and as a member of the Executive Committee, the firm's global managing body. She studied law in both the UK and France, and has worked in law firms in New York, Paris and London.
