We put our expertise at the service of a wide variety of clients, ranging from start-ups to multinationals, whether listed or not, in particular for transactions such as acquisitions, disposals, mergers, contributions or fundraising. Thus, for example, we have large industrial groups in our portfolios, investment funds and a number of technology companies.
Our practitioners working in synergy, the M&A/Private Equity department can then seek the assistance of the firm’s lawyers specializing in tax, social, IP/IT or real estate law in order to provide a global response.
