THE FIRM – THINK GLOBAL / ACT LOCAL

Because the world is changing, because costs management has become a key issue, we believe in the adequacy of expert firms working as part of an informal network.

Our firm specializes in the fields of mergers and acquisitions and general commercial law(in particular company law and tax law).

Our permanent objective is to offer services similar in quality to those of big firms. We use the exact same methods of work. The firm’s size allows us however to stay very close to our clients and bill reasonable fees.

We place our experience and know-how at our clients’ service with a continuous view to :

  • high responsiveness : short answering deadlines and real time reporting to clients;
  • proximity : we give our clients a single senior point of contact able to understand all issues raised, identify other potential lateral issues and manage issues in an efficient and focused manner;
  • understanding the business environment and challenges : we place energy where the value is and assist clients in thinking about the way to address issues;
  • ensuring a perfect fit between the solutions proposed and the financial stakes involved : we adapt our services to the size of the client and to the financial interests at stake; whenever possible we favor simple and cost effective solutions for a similar degree of tax and financial effectiveness;
  • being creative : we imagine new solutions;
  • being modern : we keep up to date on technological novelties to optimize working tools.

Our ability to work, whether in France or abroad, with a network of experts which we have developed over the years in specific areas that are not part of our firm core business,allows us to intervene in almost all fields of law while ensuring real transactional safety for our clients.

The firm can place real expertise at the service of both small and large organizations.

We work on a regular basis with foreign clients, in particular anglo-saxon companies. The firm has developed solid expertise in those clients, understands their way of working and their expectations and is able to provide all services in English, including negotiation and drafting of agreements.

Our long term practice of mergers and acquisitions and joint-ventures has enabled us to acquire real expertise in the field of contractual negotiations and the resolution of complex issues through negotiation and mediation. It is a fact that the resolution of litigious situations and the optimization of negotiations not only require an in-depth knowledge of negotiation techniques and tools but also a perfect monitoring of legal analysis that also generally provides strong arguments.

Given the delays, global costs and uncertainty which characterize judicial procedures, we try whenever feasible to solve litigious issues by way of amicable negotiation.
