A strategic, personalised approach

Our team takes the time to understand the specific needs of the executive, in order to develop tailored solutions as part of a fund-raising support package.

In addition to our legal skills, we bring expertise in strategic planning, identifying opportunities and anticipating potential obstacles.

Working in French, English and Spanish, we support international transactions, ensuring that each stage is managed with particular care in the context of private equity, venture capital or growth capital funds.

Post-fund-raising security and monitoring

Once the funds have been raised, we support our clients in post-transaction management.
