& Finance
Accompanying financial transformation with legal clarity
Banking and finance are undergoing rapid transformation, driven by fintech innovation, ESG imperatives, and the tightening of sanctions regimes. Each transaction combines multiple layers of regulation, complex prudential interfaces, and heightened risk management demands.
We assist banks, investment funds, asset managers, corporates, and new finance players in addressing these challenges, from structuring financing to managing compliance, disputes, and regulatory relationships. Our experience spans syndicated and acquisition finance, project and real estate finance, and senior and mezzanine debt.
Drawing on the firm’s full range of capabilities in corporate, tax, real estate, and criminal law, we provide integrated, strategic advice. For over 20 years, we have supported financial institutions, investors, fintechs, regtechs, and crypto actors in securing their operations and anticipating regulatory change.
our Interventions
Financing Transactions
We advise on all forms of financing, including syndicated, acquisition, leveraged buyout, project, real estate, and ESG-linked transactions, as well as listed and unlisted bond issuances and cross-border financings. Our teams structure, negotiate, and implement financing frameworks that align with each client’s strategy and risk profile.
Regulation and Compliance
We assist clients in managing their relationships with supervisory authorities, obtaining licenses and notifications, and implementing AML-CFT compliance programs. Our work also includes designing payment service structures for card operators and advising on the application of French and European prudential regulations.
Dispute Resolution
We represent clients in banking and financial disputes before civil, commercial, and regulatory authorities, including the AMF and ACPR. Our white-collar defense teams handle financial criminal matters, combining strategic precision and procedural rigor to safeguard interests and reputation.
