Corporate practice - M&A, governance, strategic contracts, international structuring. Working in French and English.
Over fifteen years within the legal department of an international retail group, following experience in French business law firms.
From this background comes a distinctive practice: the technical depth of external counsel, grounded in first-hand knowledge of the operational, financial and governance constraints organisations face.
Working in French and English, on matters with a national or international dimension, with strict adherence to professional confidentiality.
Four core practice areas in domestic and international business law.
Acquisitions and disposals, capital increases, financial restructurings, joint-ventures. Equity entries and exits for mid-market companies - acting for acquirers, investors or sellers. Negotiation and drafting of transaction documentation, co-ordination of multi-jurisdictional counsel.
Structuring and securing governance for companies and holding structures. Advising governing bodies, formalising decisions, drafting and negotiating shareholders' agreements. Managing shareholder relationships and accompanying capital changes.
Wealth holding structures, organisation and optimisation of ownership vehicles. Business and asset transfers, succession planning. Family governance and family charters for executives, entrepreneurs and families seeking to organise and protect their assets across generations.
Managing the legal function for groups and companies without an in-house legal team - from a one-off assignment to a long-term mandate. Strategic contracts (distribution, manufacturing, licensing, franchise), commercial leases, litigation and arbitration. Legal function transformation: structuring contract processes, digitalising tools, organising and upskilling teams.
