Gide advises numerous companies, whether listed or unlisted, on the recurring corporate law issues that they may face (e.g. financial authorisations, stock options), as well as on their one-off transactions.
The Mergers & Acquisitions / Corporate practice group covers all issues relating to corporate law, particularly financial transactions (capital increase through issuing equity instruments or securities providing access to a company’s capital, capital reductions etc.), internal restructuring operations (mergers, partial transfer of assets etc.), employee or corporate officer profit-sharing agreement mechanism (stock option subscription or share purchase, free shares plan etc.), and company incorporations, whatever their form or nature.
Experience includes:
We cover all questions of corporate law and securities regulations that listed companies are subject to. These include, in particular, all corporate governance issues (preparation, holding and incidents of general assemblies; nomination, resignation, removal, cooption and remuneration of corporate managers; preventing conflicts of interests, etc.) and securities law (drafting and updating of reference documents, buyback programmes, shareholder agreements, periodic and ongoing disclosure obligations, compliance with regulations on market abuse, etc.). This specialty presupposes a high level of expertise both in corporate and securities law, as well as excellent knowledge of capital market environments and market practice.
