Headquartered in Paris, our practice is active in two main areas:
- Mergers & Acquisitions
Our Mergers and Acquisitions services include general strategic and transaction-specific advice regarding domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, privatizations, special committee assignments, takeover defences, strategic partnerships, joint ventures and specialized real estate advisory services. We provide advice to managements and boards of directors, business owners, governments, institutions, investors and other interested parties on a worldwide basis.
- Financial Restructuring and Fund Raising
We specialise in helping companies in financial distress. This is an important strategic component of our Financial Advisory business as this division complements our Mergers and Acquisitions practice. In addition, our Financial Restructuring practice often generates follow-on relationships and assignments that survive the completion of restructuring-related engagements. Our services are mainly offered across Southern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The team is ideally positioned to promote South-South deals.
Transaction features
We have developed our business model along two lines:
- Middle-size transactions
From €10 to €150 m, generated through an opportunistic approach and covering a large panel of industries such as the chocolate, gaming and financial services industries. For these transactions our team works with different types of clients ranging from private entrepreneurs to international firms.
- Transactions with an African focus
We have a proven track record of transactions in mobile telecommunications, financial services, agribusiness and energy.
