Advisor for all types of actors

We act as legal advisor to borrowers and issuers (companies and sponsors) as well as lenders (financial institutions, credit institutions, debt funds), which gives us perfect knowledge of market practice for each type of financing and for all transaction sizes (small cap, mid cap and large cap), so that we can anticipate the requirements of the various parties involved in the transaction.

Our clients operate in a wide variety of sectors (healthcare, medical and paramedical, regulated professions, retail, insurance, digital, cybersecurity, data center, education, energy, production of raw materials and manufactured products, etc.), which gives us a very good knowledge of the various regulatory constraints applicable to each sector, so that we can ensure that the financing structure complies with the requirements of the relevant regulatory authorities (including ordre professonniel).
