AXA

AXA is a French multinational insurance corporation and one of the world's leading insurance and asset management groups. Founded in 1985 by Claude Bébéar, who transformed a small mutual insurer from Normandy into a global group, the company is headquartered in Paris and is listed on Euronext Paris as a component of the CAC 40 index.

The group operates across 52 countries and serves more than 92 million clients, both individuals and businesses, through a workforce of 156,000 employees and distributors. Its activities span property-casualty insurance, including auto and home cover; individual and group life insurance; savings products; health insurance and health protection; and an asset management division serving both the Group's insurance companies and third-party clients. For legal professionals, the operating footprint is significant: work is conducted across multiple jurisdictions within heavily regulated industries including insurance, financial services, savings and asset management.

Technical domains within the group include actuarial science, risk management, insurance underwriting, asset management, and savings and investment management. AXA states its purpose as acting for human progress by protecting what matters, helping individuals, businesses and societies thrive, and describes a culture of continuous reinvention of insurance since 1985.
