LBOs, fundraising, management packages — each structure demands a deep understanding of financing mechanisms, regulatory constraints, and governance challenges. Success depends on the ability to anticipate risks and design robust, value-driven frameworks aligned with your strategic goals. 0 0 We turn this complexity into actionable solutions. From tax structuring to shareholders’ agreements, from senior debt financing to exit clauses, we orchestrate every dimension to bring your projects to life. Our multidisciplinary approach combines corporate law, tax, employment, and financial regulation expertise. Investment funds, managers, entrepreneurs, and high-growth companies – we support every stage of your investment cycle. ## *our*Interventions 0 0 ### (01) Advisory on Leveraged Transactions LBOs, LMBOs, OBOs — we manage every aspect of leveraged transactions for funds, managers, and targets alike. Senior, mezzanine, or unitranche financing, complex securities, collateral: we design structures that fit your strategic objectives. From risk audits to shareholders’ agreements, financing documentation to investor exits (buybacks, IPOs, capital reductions), each step benefits from our expertise in acquisitions, divestments, and regulatory matters. ### (02) Management Packages Aligning the interests of executives and key employees is crucial to investment success. We design and negotiate customized incentive schemes – stock options, free shares, BSPCEs, co-investment bonuses, preferred shares, convertible bonds. Our deep knowledge of market practices and incentive mechanisms allows us to structure balanced, high-impact equity participation plans. Initial investment, exit clauses, unwind, renegotiation, international rollout – we guide you through every scenario. ### (03) Fundraising / Equity Investments Growth capital, venture capital — we assist companies, founders, and funds (FCPRs, FIPs) throughout the entire investment cycle. Legal and tax due diligence, investment option assessment, negotiation of term sheets and shareholders’ agreements, tax structuring, corporate documentation — we master the regulatory constraints and investment ratios specific to this segment. Governance, capital entry, asset warranties, IRR — each parameter is calibrated to secure your position and optimize returns.
