Private Wealth Law

Yards, which recently formed following the merger of Barré & Associés and MBA Avocats, offers advice to high net worth clients on all matters related to tax, inheritance, trusts, private foundations, investments, philanthropy and the sale of businesses. Its clients include entrepreneurs, families, business owners and company executives.

"They are extremely knowledgeable in cross-border transactions, they have a very good command on international tax treaties and very good knowledge on estate planning and trust law."

"They are terrific on highly complex matters that require a lot of thought on the interplay of US and France - they are very knowledgeable and very thoughtful, and they pay attention to the facts."

Jérôme Barré has an excellent reputation for handling private client and family-owned company matters in both a domestic and international context. "He is an expert in this field, understands trust issues and is a professional with whom you can dialogue on international client matters."

Julia Novak is adept at advising private clients on cross-border and domestic estate and tax planning issues, and also has expertise in real estate investments, residency and civil law issues. "Julia is very reactive and thinks outside the box to try to find a solution to an issue."
