Our approach of M&A relies on our:
- upstream focus on legal and financial structuring, to anticipate our clients’ best strategic interests,
- organizational structure (two divisions: Structure and Operations which enable project-based teamwork, and provides a broad view of financing and investments as a whole),
- sector-oriented strategy: our clients benefit from tailored expertise,
- transnational activity (French and foreign clients requiring our assistance in order to steer transactions abroad with or without a French aspect involved) on both listed and non-listed M&A transactions.
This organization has proved particularly effective when dealing with complex matters, which involve different legal expertises. The fact that our firm is designed to enable a seamless cooperation between complementary expertises (e.g. M&A and IP/IT and/or regulatory) distinguishes us, and most importantly is very much appreciated by our clients when it comes to delivering tailor-made solutions to complex problems.
