We assist top executives, entrepreneurs and family-owned groups in all stages of their equity transactions: disposals, acquisitions, IPOs, P-to-Pr, fundraising, LBO build-up, etc. We assist them with all aspects of these transactions, including financial review, negotiation and structuring.
Our team has deep experience with international and complex transactions, particularly those that include a stock market aspect (post-LBO IPOs, LBOs on listed companies), and has a solid figures driven culture. We are committed to acting as a facilitator and work effectively with our clients’ other advisers and their counterparties to help them to successfully complete their strategic transactions.
We assist managers, entrepreneurs and family shareholders with negotiating and structuring LBO transactions, whether the acquisition is a majority or minority stake, listed or non-listed, French or international.
We assist top executives with structuring and implementing schemes offering management teams and employees access to share capital.
We assist these individuals with implementing the management investment, and, as appropriate, its restructuring or unwinding.
Our figures driven culture enable us to assist our clients in a pragmatic way and to work efficiently with all advisers on their transaction, while our independence from financial investors and banks guarantees a total absence of conflicts of interest.
We assist top executives of listed and unlisted companies, whether they are joining or leaving the group or during strategic operations (external growth, restructuring), with negotiating and structuring their remuneration package (fixed, variable, long-term, etc.), their benefits or their entry or exit package (severance pay, non-compete clause, CSG, etc.).
We advise our clients on all their transactions and corporate law issues, whether in the context of one-off transactions (issuance of complex securities, equity restructuring, disposals, acquisitions, mergers, contributions, etc.) or in the context of monitoring intra-group relations or day-to-day legal needs.
We can also help our clients with establishing tailor-made governance systems to meet their needs at each stage of their development and to ensure the best possible transmission to future generations.
We advise founders and entrepreneurs at all stages of their projects, starting with incorporation and opening the share capital to investors (friends & family, series A and following series, etc.), through to their exit (LBO, sale to a trade buyer, IPO, etc.).
As we only advise managers and entrepreneurs, our focus allows us to always keep the interests and objectives of founders at the heart of negotiations, in transactions that often develop rapidly and that can be intense for them to experience. Our expertise in management packages and LBOs/MBOs/OBOs also guarantees our clients that we can support them over the life of their investment, depending on their own evolution as well as a long-term vision reaching well beyond the start-up environment.
