Charles MOREL
A career at the crossroads of law, the arts, humanistic commitment and entrepreneurship.
After four years working for international law firms (Alain Bensoussan and Bird & Bird), Charles MOREL founded his own law firm in September 2002 dedicated to criminal defense, employees' rights, press and media law, and representing the interests of various figures in the art world.
Charles MOREL is a former Second Secretary of the Paris Bar Association (class of 2000), which gave him the opportunity to give a speech on The Trial of Pierre Goldman (video recording) at the Paris Bar Association's formal opening ceremony. It was on this occasion that he met Georges Kiejman, who opened his archives to him, with whom he became friends and whom he represented as a civil party in the Clearstream trial.
In September 2002, he decided to set up his own law firm. His practice is divided among labor law, intellectual property and new technology law, criminal law, and press law, both in an advisory capacity and in litigation.
Charles MOREL puts his humanist commitment and eco-feminist convictions into practice, as well as his passion for the arts and his love of others with tireless joy and endless enthusiasm.
A relentless defender of the rule of law and fundamental freedoms, in June 2021, he was asked to create and chair the Union of CBD Professionals, which was fighting a losing battle against a prohibitionist state betraying the social contract of which it is the protector and raison d'être. He went on to lead the victorious fight against the interministerial decree of December 30, 2021, intended to liquidate the cannabidiol (CBD) industry without delay and without compensation. He chose to file a petition for protection of fundamental liberties and practice civil disobedience. On January 24, 2022, the decree was suspended (interim order of the Council of State), then definitively annulled in December 2022.
As an artist's agent, he took on the role of curator for the three-part exhibition dedicated to the works of Patrick Ullmann along the fence of the Saint-Jacques tower, at the Basia Embiricos gallery, in the village of Saint-Paul and at the Théâtre de la Ville. In October 2024, he published a photography book entitled “Portrait d'artistes” (Portraits of Artists) with Ramsay Publishing and is currently working on a biography of this renowned portrait photographer.
Since 2022, he has organized eight exhibition-concerts at his firm, featuring artists who share a mutual concern for nature, whether it be the subject or material of their work, and strive to bring together an ever-expanding egregore raising awareness about the Anthropocene and the need to rethink our relationship to the world, to others, to the animal, plant, and mineral kingdoms.

He is the author of a first novel, Généalogie d’un coup de foudre (Genealogy of Love at First Sight), published by Ramsay on August 21, 2024 (see the section More).
