Notable Practitioners
Christophe Gaillard assists with acquisition financing, credit facilities and refinancing mandates. He acts for a range of leading French and international financial institutions and banks.
Sébastien Boullier de Branche advises on a range of finance matters, including acquisitions and debt restructurings for corporate borrowers.
"We were very happy with his work and he is also very transaction-driven."
"Sébastien is very dedicated and quite insightful from a technical standpoint. He really gives advice taking into account the specificities of our investments. He is really involved day to day."
"He has the particular skill to make the distinction between a technical problem without significant business impact and the more difficult issues, and always comes up with a solution which can be agreed by both parties. The process of getting to a conclusion is therefore significantly eased."
