We provide advice to companies and groups of companies in “special situations”, in a complex and constantly changing environment.
Our team helps clients make the law a powerful tool to overcome their challenges and successfully redeploy their business.
We mainly work on behalf of companies (large groups, medium-sized businesses, and sometimes very small companies) and their shareholders, in France and abroad. We support debtors, buyers, and shareholders in all their business needs.
Our team of specialist lawyers, supported by the firm’s multi-disciplinary areas of expertise, provides responsive, high-performing advice, demonstrating a constant innovative approach to the restructuring and business turnaround solutions we propose.
The team operates at three levels: (i) in bonis in distressed contexts ,(ii) in preventive proceedings, and (iii) in collective proceedings.
We have built up specific expertise in the management of proceedings to deal with distressed companies, by working closely with all the relevant bodies: conciliators, receivers, court-appointed agents, commercial courts, independent auditors, interim managers, trustees, etc.
Drawing on the combined expertise of our M&A and tax departments, we have also developed a significant distressed M&A practice, ensuring the successful reorganization of companies through disposals or mergers, in particular carve-outs.
We strive to share our innovative approach with our clients, so that we can steadily guide them at every stage of their development.
The team is ranked in The Legal 500 EMEA, Décideurs juridiques and Option Droit et Affaires.
