Elected as a deputy in Sarcelles in 1993, he subsequently represented the 4th constituency of Paris from 1997 until his appointment as Secretary of State for European Affairs in June 2009. In November 2010, Lellouche was appointed Secretary of State for Foreign Trade in the Fillon III government, a position he held until the end of Nicolas Sarkozy's presidency in May 2012. He was re-elected as a deputy for the 1st constituency of Paris in June 2012, serving until April 2017, when he retired from elective politics. Since then, he has continued his career as a lawyer, geopolitics consultant, member of influential think tanks, and columnist.
Pierre Lellouche was born in Tunis (Tunisia), among the Jewish community. He is one of four children of Noël Lellouche, who had fought in the Free French Forces during World War II.

Resuming his studies, he earned his LLM in 1974, followed by an SJD in 1978. His doctorate dissertation focused on the 'Internationalization of the nuclear fuel cycle as a non-proliferation strategy,' under the guidance of Professor Abram Chayes. Concurrently, he was a fellow at the Harvard Center for Science and International Affairs, studying under the mentorship of Joseph Nye and Stanley Hoffmann.
