Mergers & Acquisitions M&A
Buying, selling or transferring a business is a decisive moment for any manager. Our M&A lawyers can help you audit, negotiate and structure deals to limit risk, preserve value and maintain a healthy relationship between the parties.
Our lawyers' skills
Our M&A lawyers use their in-depth knowledge of market practices to help you prepare, secure and enhance the value of each transaction. Audits, negotiations, tailored legal and tax packages: everything is designed to defend your interests, speed up decision-making and facilitate the success of your acquisitions, disposals or reorganizations.
Preparing and structuring your operation
Preparing for a sale or acquisition means protecting your vision and the value of your company.
Our Lawyers clarify your objectives, anticipate risks, and construct a suitable structure: sale of shares or assets, LBO, OBO, MBO, carve-out, partial asset contribution, merger, family transmission, etc.
You save time and protect your assets.
Auditing and managing risks
A well-conducted acquisition audit or vendor due diligence protects all parties and prevents unwelcome surprises.
We understand that an audit requires a significant investment of time and energy for you and your teams.
Our Lawyers identify sensitive issues and transform this information into leverage to defend value, adjust guarantees, and limit disputes.
You maintain control and your vision.
Adding value and securing the price
Setting the right price protects the value of your company and avoids post-sale disputes.
Our Lawyers anticipate potential impasses and implement appropriate mechanisms, including price clauses, earn-outs, net debt adjustments, and liability guarantees.
Whether you are buying or selling, every detail is crucial to securing the transaction, maintaining fairness, and preserving trust between the parties.
Negotiating intelligently, moving forward together
Every exchange counts in an M&A deal.
Our lawyers protect your interests without blocking the relationship with the other party, with a dealmaker approach.
Confidentiality agreement (NDA), letter of intent (LOI), sale and purchase agreement (SPA), guarantee of assets and liabilities (GAP), shareholders' agreement or non-competition clause: each document is negotiated to secure value, limit disputes and preserve trust until closing.
Steering the schedule
A deal is a structuring project.
Our Lawyers are key players in managing adherence to the schedule and securing each step: authorizations, information to teams and employee representatives, conditions precedent, tax consistency.
You maintain control of the timing, preserve internal confidence, and protect the value of the transaction.
Drafting and securing the suite
Finalizing an M&A deal doesn't stop at the signing.
Our lawyers will help you to lift any conditions precedent, secure the closing and remain at your side to manage earn-out adjustments or assist with the implementation of the Asset and Liability Guarantee (ALM).
Now that the deal is behind you, it's time to embark on your new projects.

A deal is a structuring project where timing is critical. We manage adherence to the schedule, including authorizations, information for teams and employee representatives, and conditions precedent, while also seeking the optimal tax configuration. We prevent unexpected issues, secure the integration process, and maintain internal confidence.
Most of our customers entrust us with their long-term needs. But we can also be called in on an ad hoc basis when a manager is preparing the acquisition or sale of a company.
We quickly integrate with your usual entourage (chartered accountant, banker, financial advisor, historical lawyer) to secure the operation without wasting time.
The sale or acquisition of a company often causes internal upheaval. We can help you anticipate the social, legal and managerial impacts: dialogue with employee representatives, transfer of contracts, reassurance of teams.
