What you do matters to us
Our mission
Beyond our legal expertise, this holistic approach allows us to identify loopholes in French law and its interpretation, thereby helping to improve existing practices. It also enables us to fully grasp the context and stakes of each case.
Our team stands out for its in-depth expertise in financial markets law, restructuring, corporate law, and financial regulation. This proficiency allows us to analyze cases from multiple perspectives—whether dealing with debt or equity investors, passive or activist shareholders, or special situations.
We exclusively represent investors in France and never corporate executives of listed companies. This independence ensures our freedom of action and strengthens our commitment to defending our clients’ best interests.
