With over 25 years of experience in M&A, private equity and corporate law, I assist French and international clients with their external growth operations (mergers and acquisitions, private equity, venture capital, joint ventures, strategic alliances), structuring and monitoring their corporate law issues (corporate governance, compliance), cross-border investments and related litigation and arbitration.
I work in particular in the energy, healthcare, new technologies, tourism, transport, agri-food and financial services sectors.

My main areas of expertise are:

• External growth operations: assisting entrepreneurs and companies in all stages of their mergers and acquisitions, private equity, venture capital, joint ventures and strategic alliances, from the negotiation of the letter of intent to the finalisation of the transaction.
• Corporate law and governance: structuring and monitoring corporate law issues (corporate governance, shareholders’ agreements, intra-group reorganisations, compliance) at every stage of a company’s development.
• Cross-border investments: assisting French and international clients with their cross-border investments.
