Management Packages
Executive management, managers and company founders must contend with complex legal and tax issues arising from sales, transfers and capital reorganisations. Our dedicated team supports them at these key moments in their professional and personal lives and in their businesses by providing them with recognised and bespoke expertise.
We are a multi-disciplinary team dedicated to supporting executives, managers, company founders and family shareholders, with specialists in corporate, tax, employment law and financing operations.
We cover all the legal and tax needs of managers in different contexts: venture, private equity, listed companies and family groups.
With a proven track record, we are clearly recognized by the market as one of the leaders in this field.
Supported by our global network of offices and industry-leading partners, we manage complex and multi-jurisdictional transactions.
We also guarantee total independence from investment funds, and have in-depth knowledge of market practices and the private equity ecosystem.
Last but not least, we use a digital platform that has been tried and tested for several years and is tailored to our operations.
