Tiphaine Bégin

Ten years ago, Tiphaine walked through Deloitte’s doors as an intern—her first professional experience. She didn’t just learn the job; she absorbed the mindsets, the reflexes, and the legal skills that would shape her entire approach. “In many ways, it’s where I truly became a lawyer,” she reflects.

Tiphaine’s daily work is rooted in the realities of employment law: advising clients on working time, remuneration, pay gaps, restructuring, and dismissals. French employment law, she notes, is “very dense, always evolving.” Rather than seeing herself as a traditional legal expert, Tiphaine describes her role as a “translator of complexity” in helping clients navigate shifting regulations and practical dilemmas.

For Tiphaine, collaboration at Deloitte is as important as the work itself. In her words, with complex cases, “it’s not about seniority, it’s just about ideas, creativity, and just finding a solution for the client.” Over the years, she has built real friendships and found mentors who gave her room to express herself, even when she was young. “This mix of autonomy, trust, and high expectation is something I found more broadly within Deloitte.”

Balancing professional and personal life is a priority, especially given her specialty in employment law. “Of course, it’s not always perfect—we have intense periods, but we talk about it within the team, we find solutions and organize ourselves accordingly.” She is committed to offering the same mindset to her team, ensuring everyone has room to grow based on their skills, experience, and commitment.

Working with younger generations, Tiphaine welcomes their new questions and expectations. “For me, what really matters is that everyone has room to grow within Deloitte.” Inclusion and opportunities for all are not just values, they are a reality she strives to uphold. “That’s how I’ve felt treated [within Deloitte]”.
